Pentax smc Pentax-A 35mm f/2.8 - Pentax K Mount

The smc Pentax-A 35mm f/2.8 is a compact wide-angle prime lens for the K-mount system. Featuring the 'A' position on the aperture ring, it allows for shutter-priority and programmed auto-exposure modes on compatible bodies. Its optical construction provides a natural perspective and high contrast, making it a versatile choice for street and documentary photography. When inspecting a used example, check the aperture ring for a positive click into the 'A' position. The focus helicoid should be smooth without dry spots. As with many lenses of this age, SDS checks for internal dust and ensures the six-blade diaphragm is free from oil contamination to prevent sluggish movement.
