==== Summary ====
The SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 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 portability and solid construction, and served as a non-macro alternative to the longer and heavier 100mm f/4 Macro. Optically, it features a 5-element/5-group design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. It delivers a 24° diagonal field of view on full-frame (or ~16° on APS-C), focuses down to 1 meter, and provides 0.13× magnification. The lens uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs just 225g, and measures 62.5 × 55.7mm. It lacks an “A” setting on the aperture ring, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes on modern digital bodies. A clip-on hood and dedicated hard case were originally included.
