Fast standard prime lens for Pentax K-mount full-frame cameras.
The SMC Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 AL is a wide-angle prime from Pentax's FA series, covering both film and digital APS-C and full-frame cameras. AL indicates aspherical element for reduced distortion; FA = full auto-exposure coupling for A-mode on compatible bodies. A moderately wide prime suited for landscape, street, and documentary photography.

The FA 35mm f/2 AL covers the full 35mm frame, making it one of the few Pentax K lenses compatible with both APS-C and full-frame Pentax bodies (K-1, K-1 Mark II). The A-mode position enables program auto-exposure on compatible bodies. Good sharpness from f/2 with excellent results from f/5.6.
Inspect for fungus, haze, and coating condition. Test A-mode aperture coupling. Confirm K-mount engagement. Check aperture blades. Test on both APS-C and full-frame (K-1) if available to confirm full-frame coverage.
