===== Pentax-M SMC 100mm f/2.8 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_100mm_f2.8.png?200|}} ==== 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. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |100mm| | Max Aperture |f/2.8| | Min Aperture |f/22| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |100cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |6| | Optical Design |5/5| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |62.5mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |55.7mm| | Weight |225g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1977 \\ 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 ====
