===== Pentax 67 SMC Takumar 400mm f/4 ED [IF] ===== {{ :lens:pentax400mm6x7f4edif.png?400|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M★ 67 400mm f/4 ED [IF] is the final and most advanced 400mm telephoto lens designed for the Pentax 6×7 medium format system, introduced in 1986 and produced until the system’s discontinuation in the early 2000s. It replaced the earlier Takumar and SMC 400mm f/4 designs with a completely new optical formula, incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and internal focusing (IF)—a major leap in both performance and usability. Optically, it features a 9-element - 9-group design with Super Multi-Coating (SMC) and a 9-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens stops down to f/45, focuses as close as 2.8 meters, and delivers a 0.01× magnification ratio. It uses rear-mounted 67mm drop-in filters, weighs a hefty 3.7kg, and measures 132.5 × 305mm. It includes a built-in rotating hood, removable rear filter holder, tripod collar, and strap lugs for easier handling. The lens ships in a dedicated metal trunk and was often paired with a padded leather hood cover and optional CPL 67 polarizer*. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |67| | Model |SMC Takumar| | Focal Length |400mm| | Max Aperture |f/4 ED [IF]| | Min Aperture |f/45| | Format |6x7| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |280cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |9| | Optical Design |9/9| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |132.5mm| | Filter Thread |67mm (rear)| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax 6x7| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |305mm| | Weight |3700g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1986 \\ Launch Price: \\ Design Revisions: \\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **TBD hrs.**\\ \\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: -\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: -\\ Iris Ring O.D.: -\\ De-click Y/N: -\\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
