SMC Pentax‑M 50 mm f/1.7 

SMC Pentax‑M 50 mm f/1.7 – Good Condition | Compact Fast Prime with Exceptional Sharpness and Color

Introduction

The SMC Pentax‑M 50 mm f/1.7 is a compact and beautifully made manual‑focus lens from the late 1970s, part of Pentax’s renowned M‑series. It’s celebrated for its superb optical quality, delivering crisp detail, rich color, and smooth contrast even at wide apertures. With its bright f/1.7 maximum aperture and solid metal build, this lens performs exceptionally well in both low‑light and portrait situations. Simple, reliable, and optically outstanding, it remains one of the most loved Pentax K‑mount lenses ever made.
