===== Pentax-M SMC 150mm f/3.5 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_150mm_f3.5.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 150mm f/3.5 is a compact manual-focus telephoto prime introduced in 1977 and produced until 1986, designed for full-frame K-mount film cameras. It was part of the second-generation “M” series lenses, offering a slightly faster aperture and more compact build than its K-series predecessor, while maintaining Pentax’s hallmark of optical clarity and mechanical precision. Optically, it features a 5-element - 5-group design with Super Multi-Coating (SMC) and a 6-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens stops down to f/32, focuses as close as 1.8 meters, and delivers a 0.1× magnification ratio. It uses a 49mm filter thread, weighs just 290g, and measures 63 × 75mm. It includes a built-in sliding hood, a manual aperture ring (no “A” setting), and was typically sold with a dedicated hard case. There’s no internal focusing or weather sealing, but the lens is fully compatible with all Pentax K-mount bodies, including digital cameras with manual exposure support. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |150mm| | Max Aperture |f/3.5| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |180cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |6| | Optical Design |5/5| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |63mm| | Filter Thread |49mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |75mm| | Weight |290g| | 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 ====
