Takumar lenses are renowned for their outstanding build quality and beautiful rendering, and this 55mm is one of the most popular of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe SMC designation refers to Pentax's pioneering Super-Multi-Coating, which reduces flare and ghosting and gives rich, vivid colors. Optically, the lens is sharp with smooth, attractive bokeh and a gentle, pleasing transition from focus to background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eTakumar lenses are famous for their buttery-smooth focusing and solid all-metal construction. Turning the focus ring of this lens is a tactile pleasure that modern lenses rarely match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe SMC Takumar has a meter-coupling tab that enables open-aperture metering on the Spotmatic F and ES series, while the Auto\/Manual switch allows stop-down metering on other M42 cameras and convenient manual aperture control on adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThis is a superb everyday lens for portraits, street photography, travel and still life. The slightly longer-than-normal 55mm focal length gives a natural yet subtly flattering perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe M42 mount is one of the easiest to adapt. With an inexpensive adapter, the lens works beautifully on Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Micro Four Thirds and Pentax K-mount cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eToday, the SMC Takumar 55mm f\/1.8 is valued as one of the best combinations of character, build quality and affordability in vintage lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eWe highly recommend this lens to film photographers and digital shooters alike who want a classic, beautifully made standard lens with timeless rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \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 \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#173b63;margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003e Specialty Store for Used Cameras \u0026amp; Lenses \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.9;color:#42586e;\"\u003e We are a Japan-based specialty store focusing on used cameras and lenses.\u003cbr\u003e Our items are carefully inspected and described as accurately as possible for international buyers. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50647495901322,"sku":"20261011JPY","price":55.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2977\/4474\/files\/s-l1600_3babf147-35de-48ca-9a7e-2026c4c43769.jpg?v=1793591282","url":"https:\/\/peek-a-boo-camera-japan.myshopify.com\/products\/mint-pentax-smc-takumar-55mm-f-1-8-m42-mf-standard-prime-lens-from-japan-e0460","provider":"PEEK A BOO CAMERA JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
