==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax 35mm f/3.5 is a compact, manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Pentax K-mount 35mm and full-frame digital SLRs, produced from 1975 to 1977. It features a 5-element/4-group optical design derived from the classic Auto-Takumar 35mm f/3.5, a 5-blade automatic diaphragm, and Pentax’s Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast, color fidelity, and flare resistance. With a modest f/3.5 maximum aperture, it prioritizes sharpness and portability over speed. The lens focuses down to 0.35m, delivers a 0.13× magnification, and uses a 52mm filter thread. It weighs just 161g and measures 63 × 36mm, making it nearly pancake-like in size. Though it lacks an “A” setting on the aperture ring, it’s fully compatible with manual and aperture-priority modes on Pentax DSLRs.
