===== Pentax-M SMC 200mm f/4 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_200mm_f4.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 200mm f/4 is a compact manual-focus telephoto prime lens introduced in 1977 and produced until 1984, designed for Pentax K-mount 35mm DSLRs and compatible with APS-C and full-frame digital SLRs. It features a 6-element/5-group optical design, an 8-blade automatic diaphragm, and Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast and flare resistance. With a constant f/4 aperture, it delivers a 12° diagonal field of view on full-frame (or ~8° on APS-C), making it ideal for landscape, wildlife, and sports photography—especially in daylight. The lens focuses down to 2 meters, offers a 0.13× magnification, and uses a 52mm filter thread. It weighs just 405g, measures 64 × 111mm, and includes a built-in sliding hood for added flare protection. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |200mm| | Max Aperture |f/4| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |200cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |8| | Optical Design |6/5| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |64mm| | Filter Thread |52mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |111mm| | Weight |405g| | 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 ====
