===== Pentax SMC 200mm f/2.5 ===== {{ :lens:pentax_smc_200mm_f2.5.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax 200mm f/2.5 is a fast, manual-focus telephoto prime introduced in 1977 and produced until 1986, designed for full-frame K-mount film and digital SLRs. It was the fastest 200mm lens Pentax ever made, offering a unique blend of speed, build quality, and optical character that still draws attention from collectors and vintage lens enthusiasts. It features a 6-element/6-group optical design, an 8-blade automatic diaphragm, and Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast and flare resistance. With a fixed f/2.5 aperture, it delivers a 12° diagonal field of view on full-frame (or ~8° on APS-C), focuses down to 2 meters, and offers 0.13× magnification. The lens uses a 77mm filter thread, weighs 950g, and measures 89 × 145mm. It includes a built-in sliding hood, clip-on front cap, and was originally sold with a dedicated hard case. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |K Series Prime| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |200mm| | Max Aperture |f/2.5| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |200cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |8| | Optical Design |6/6| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |89mm| | Filter Thread |77mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |145mm| | Weight |950g| | 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 ====
