This is a beautiful Pentax SMC standard lens for your Pentax autofocus camera. Brand new, never used old stock we acquired from a photo business that closed.

About this product

Product Information

This Pentax SMCP-FA digital lens provides quality shooting in a lightweight package. The Pentax camera lens weighs 7 oz, making it an easy option for travel and outdoor photography. The Pentax SMCP-FA features autofocus, as well as a manual focus. Photographers can alternate between focus modes with the slide of a switch to make adjusting focus faster. The wide-angle camera lens works with Pentax K mount cameras, though autofocus only works with specific cameras. With a prime focal length of 50 mm, this wide-angle camera lens is ideal for general photography as well. A f/1.4 aperture provides smooth out-of-focus edges for realistic portraits when using this Pentax camera lens. The lens imitates the view angle and perspective of the human eye for a more natural look. Additionally, the Pentax SMCP-FA has multi-layer lens coating to reduce reflections, as well as ultra-violet rays that can distort color. The coating helps preserve contrast and sharpness when shooting in any environment.

  • AF Convenient But Loud. Decent Image Quality.

    Build Quality - plastic but honestly it looks good with my Pentax K-5. Autofocus - terrifyingly loud. needs some getting used to. Focus ring - loud as well. feels a little heavy like riding a stationary bike. Color aberration - very heavy, very noticeable. Bokeh - it works well but because of the color aberration it looks ugly at times. Overall I think it's a decent value to have at this price. Just don't expect dramatically great images. Try shoot at night, shoot at streets, shoot small things, involve people to get the most out of this lens. Use f1.4 or f1.8 very carefully. Maybe there are better M or A lenses out there, but I think using a single range lens is already a bit of work with all the walking back and forth. I don't want to add dialing focus ring every dang time on top of that. I want to shoot a lot of sights and things and quickly move on.

  • A worthwhile standard lens

    It's nicely made compact light and clean with crisp images a plus is being able to use a polarizing filter without a rotating lens housing...

  • Best for value/price Pentax 50mm lens

    It is a very good lens for all kinds of shooting, even on wide open aperture it giver sharp image, but requires accurate focusing. I've made with it high-detailed panoramas at f8-f16, painting-like landscapes at f1.4 and portraits at f1.4-f2.8. Also it is good for evening/night time shooting and works fine at 0 - 3 degrees below zero. The last but not the least feature to mention - it has metering and DoF scale, that helps in landscape and street shooting.
