===== Pentax-M SMC 80-200mm f/4.5 ===== {{ :lens:pentax-m_smc_80-200mm_f4.5.png?200|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax-M 80–200mm f/4.5 is a manual-focus telephoto zoom lens for Pentax K-mount 35 mm and full-frame digital SLRs, produced from 1979 to 1984. It succeeded the earlier K-series version and came in two iterations—one a rebadged K lens, the other with a revised optical design. Both feature a 15-element/12-group construction, an 8-blade automatic diaphragm, and Pentax’s Super Multi-Coating (SMC) for improved contrast and flare resistance. With a constant f/4.5 aperture, it offers a versatile zoom range for portraits, nature, and compressed landscapes. The lens focuses down to 1.6m, delivers a 0.12× magnification, and uses a 52mm filter thread. It weighs 555g, measures 65 × 142mm, and includes a built-in slide-out hood. The one-touch push-pull zoom mechanism allows for quick focal length changes, though it can be prone to zoom creep when pointed downward. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M Series Zoom| | Model |SMC| | Focal Length |80-200mm| | Max Aperture |f/4.5| | Min Aperture |f/32| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |160cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |8| | Optical Design |15/12| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |65mm| | Filter Thread |52mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax K| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |142mm| | Weight |555g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: \\ Release Date: 1979 \\ Launch Price: \\ Design Revisions: \\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **TBD hrs.**\\ \\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: -\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: -\\ Iris Ring O.D.: -\\ De-click Y/N: -\\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
