SMC Takumar lenses are a line of high-quality, manual focus lenses produced by Asahi Optical Co (later Pentax) for their M42 screw mount cameras. They are known for their excellent build quality, sharp optics, and advanced lens coatings, making them popular among vintage lens enthusiasts. The “SMC” designation stands for “Super-Multi-Coated,” indicating a multi-layer coating on the lens elements, which reduces flare and ghosting and improves contrast and color rendition.
