==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax-M 85mm f/2 is a compact manual-focus short telephoto prime introduced in 1977 and produced until 1984, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It was part of the M-series, known for its smaller size and lighter weight compared to the earlier K-series lenses, and was positioned as a portrait-friendly alternative to the larger and faster 85mm f/1.8 and f/1.4 options. It features a 5-element - 4-group optical design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens stops down to f/22, focuses as close as 85cm, and delivers 0.13× magnification. It uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs 251g, and measures 63 × 46mm. It includes a clip-on PH-R49 hood, a plastic front cap, and was often sold with a dedicated hard case. There’s no “A” setting on the aperture ring, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes.
