Hanimex — Zoom Macro MC 72-162mm f/3.5 fast mid-tele zoom in Pentax K, Minolta and Olympus fit

The 72-162mm f/3.5 was one of Hanimex's faster mid-range zooms, its constant f/3.5 rating undercutting most consumer 70-210mm-class competitors of the 1970s-80s. Sold under the Zoom Macro MC name, it targeted buyers wanting a step up in speed from the more common f/4.5 zooms, at the cost of shorter reach.

Hanimex distributed this lens in Pentax K, Minolta MD and Olympus OM mounts, and a closely related M42 version is catalogued as 70-162mm f/3.5, likely the same design under a different quoted range. A built-in Macro close-focus range is part of the design; magnification and weight are undocumented.

The brighter f/3.5 aperture gives an easier viewfinder image and shallower depth of field than Hanimex's f/4.5-class zooms, though build-quality reports are mixed. A recurring quirk on Pentax K copies is an oversized plastic aperture-lever hood that can block full seating until it is trimmed back.

This is a lesser-known Hanimex zoom, turning up irregularly in UK and European listings compared with the 70-210mm and 75-200mm ranges. Because of the known Pentax K fitting issue, testing that the lens mounts and releases correctly on its intended body is worthwhile before relying on a used copy.
