Item Description
SMC K 55mm f1.8
This is the optical formula of the S-M-C Takumar 55mm f1.8 without requiring you to fiddle with a m42-to-k-mount adapter. A highly rated lens, especially for portraits, with an effective 77mm focal length on an APS-C DSLR. In a photo.net discussion on the subject of "
If you were to choose ONE legacy Pentax lens..."
one commenter said: "
Got to agree that among the affordable lenses, (a good copy of) the K55 would probably be my choice, too. A good copy is sharp wide open (even decently sharp in the corners), with no CA. The bokeh is more than acceptable; the long focus throw makes manual focusing comparatively easy; the build quality is outstanding. All round better than the 50mm f1.7, and I prefer the focal length."
A nice copy: Optically and mechanically perfect. Aperture blades snappy and oil free. Only apology is a few signs of use around the front filter ring edge. No dings just a bit of chrome showing through in a few spots along the usual edges. Mentioned only in the interest of completeness. Focus ring is buttery smooth. Build quality is impressive (what you expect from an SMC K lens).
