Capture natural, sharp images with the Pentax SMC 50mm f/1.7 Manual Focus Prime Lens, a compact vintage standard lens designed for Pentax K-mount film cameras and compatible Pentax DSLR bodies. With its classic 50mm focal length and bright f/1.7 maximum aperture, this lens is ideal for portraits, street photography, travel, low-light scenes, everyday shooting, and creative background blur.

The fast f/1.7 aperture helps produce pleasing subject separation while allowing more light for available-light photography. Its manual focus design offers smooth, precise control, making it a great choice for photographers who enjoy a hands-on shooting experience. On full-frame Pentax cameras, the 50mm focal length provides a natural standard view, while on APS-C bodies it offers a short-telephoto perspective that works well for portraits and close-range compositions.

Built with a compact metal body, Super-Multi-Coated optics, 6 elements in 5 groups, and a 6-blade diaphragm, the Pentax SMC 50mm f/1.7 delivers classic Pentax image character in a lightweight 185g design. The 45cm minimum focusing distance and 49mm filter thread add everyday flexibility for detail shots, filters, and general photography.
