===== Pentax 67 SMC Takumar 45mm f/4 ===== {{ :lens:pentax45mm6x7.png?350|}} ==== Summary ==== The SMC Pentax 67 / SMC Pentax-6x7 45mm f/4 is an ultra-wide-angle prime introduced in 1980 for the Pentax 6×7 medium format system, with a revised version released in 1989 under the Pentax 67 name. It delivers a diagonal field of view of 89°—roughly equivalent to a 24mm lens on 35mm film—making it one of the widest rectilinear lenses available for the system. It features a 9-element - 8-group optical design, Super Multi-Coating (SMC), and an 8-blade automatic diaphragm. The lens stops down to f/22, focuses as close as 37cm, and provides 0.17× magnification. It uses an 82mm filter thread, weighs 486g, and measures 91.5 × 57.5mm. It includes a rear gelatin filter holder, but no built-in hood. The lens has no “A” setting on the aperture ring, so it’s best used in manual or aperture-priority modes.\\ \\ __Came in two variants with similar specs:__\\ SMC Pentax-6x7 45mm f/4 in **1980**; SMC Pentax 67 45mm f/4 in **1989** ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |67| | Model |SMC Takumar| | Focal Length |45mm| | Max Aperture |f/4| | Min Aperture |f/22| | Format |6x7| | Image Circle |-| | Minimum Focus |37cm| | Focus Rotation |-| | Iris Blades |8| | Optical Design |9/8| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |91.5mm| | Filter Thread |82mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |Pentax 6x7| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |57.5mm| | Weight |486g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: - \\ Release Date: 1980 \\ Launch Price: - \\ Design Revisions:\\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **#hrs.**\\ Enter relevant notes here\\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: -\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: -\\ Iris Ring O.D.: -\\ De-click Y/N: -\\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ==== {{:lens:smc_takumar_6x7_35mm_f3.5.png?400|}}
