==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax-M 75–150mm f/4 is a compact, manual-focus telephoto zoom introduced in 1980 and produced until 1985, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It was part of Pentax’s M-series—known for compactness and solid build—and aimed to offer the convenience of multiple focal lengths in a single, high-quality package. Optically, it features a 12-element/9-group design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens maintains a constant f/4 aperture throughout the zoom range, stopping down to f/32, and focuses down to 1.2 meters, delivering a maximum magnification of ~0.12×. It uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs 465g, and measures 64 × 111mm. It includes a built-in sliding hood, a plastic clip-on cap, and a dedicated hard case. The zoom and focus are controlled via a one-touch push-pull ring, and the lens lacks an “A” setting, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes on modern digital bodies.
