Produced by Asahi Optical in the early 1970s for the M42 screw mount, it features Pentax's famous Super-Multi-Coating and is widely praised for its sharpness, beautiful rendering and exceptional all-metal build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eOptically, the lens uses a 6-element, 5-group design that produces crisp, contrasty images with smooth, creamy out-of-focus areas. The SMC multi-coating improves contrast and flare resistance compared with earlier Takumars, giving clean, rich colours even in challenging backlit conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eBuild quality is a hallmark of the Takumar line. The focusing ring is famously smooth and precisely damped, the barrel is made of solid metal, and the lens has a reassuring, high-quality feel that many modern lenses simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe 55mm focal length offers a natural, slightly longer-than-normal perspective on 35mm film, ideal for everyday photography, street scenes and environmental portraits. The bright f\/1.8 aperture allows shallow depth of field and handheld shooting in low light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eOn SMC-era Spotmatic F and ES bodies, the lens supports open-aperture metering, while an Auto\/Manual switch makes it convenient to use with stop-down metering on other M42 cameras and adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThanks to the universal M42 screw mount, this lens can be used on a wide range of film cameras, including Pentax Spotmatic and other M42 bodies, and adapts very easily to modern mirrorless cameras such as Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z and Micro Four Thirds. Simple, inexpensive adapters are widely available, and the lens can even be used on Canon EOS DSLRs with an M42-EF adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eOn APS-C mirrorless cameras, the lens becomes an approximately 83mm equivalent short telephoto, a classic portrait focal length with lovely subject separation. Many photographers also enjoy it for video thanks to its smooth focus throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eIf you are looking for a classic vintage standard lens with superb build, beautiful rendering and wide adaptability, the SMC Takumar 55mm f\/1.8 is one of the best choices available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgb(244, 249, 255) 0%, rgb(232, 242, 252) 100%); border: 1px solid rgb(207, 224, 241); border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px 20px;\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#173b63;margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003e\n Specialty Store for Used Cameras \u0026amp; Lenses\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.9;color:#42586e;\"\u003e\n We are a Japan-based specialty store focusing on used cameras and lenses.\u003cbr\u003e\n Our items are carefully inspected and described as accurately as possible for international buyers.\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-top: 30px; text-align: center; padding: 20px 10px 4px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 228, 240);\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:18px;color:#173b63;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e\n Thank you very much for your understanding.\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:8px;font-size:13px;color:#6f8dad;letter-spacing:1px;\"\u003e\n Peekaboo Japan       \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521560285322,"sku":"20261011JPY","price":58.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2977\/4474\/files\/s-l1600_257a3bdd-c3d2-40a2-8f55-11f1c84c1caf.jpg?v=1792511312","url":"https:\/\/peek-a-boo-camera-japan.myshopify.com\/ja\/products\/w-capspentax-smc-takumar-55mm-f-1-8-m42-mf-standard-lens-japan-e0492","provider":"PEEK A BOO CAMERA JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
