Pentax SMC Pentax-M 135mm f/3.5 - Pentax K Mount

The SMC Pentax-M 135mm f/3.5 is a highly compact short telephoto lens, prized for its portability and excellent build quality. Ideal for portraiture and travel, it provides a flattering perspective while remaining small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. The lens includes a built-in retractable lens hood and a standard 49mm filter thread, making it a practical choice for film enthusiasts. Inspect the built-in hood for any dents that might prevent it from sliding freely. The long focus throw is excellent for precision, so ensure it moves smoothly across the entire range without tight spots. SDS examines the internal glass for any light haze which can sometimes form on the middle elements of this specific optical design, ensuring clear and high-contrast performance.
