Pentax 67 SMC Takumar 90mm f/2.8
Summary
The SMC Pentax 67 / SMC Pentax-6×7 90mm f/2.8 is a medium-format standard prime lens introduced in 1980 for the Pentax 6×7 bayonet mount, later reissued in 1989 with updated cosmetics under the “Pentax 67” branding. Designed as a slightly wider alternative to the popular 105mm f/2.4, it offers a 53° diagonal field of view, making it a versatile everyday lens for landscapes, portraits, and travel. Optically, it features a 7-element, 5-group design with Super Multi-Coating (SMC) and an 8-blade automatic diaphragm, stopping down to f/22. It focuses as close as 65 cm, uses a 67 mm filter thread, and weighs 485 g, measuring 91.5 × 45 mm. The lens lacks internal focusing and an “A” setting, but includes a bayonet-style filter mount and supports clip-on hoods like the PH-SB67.
