Pinnacle M42 standard prime with SMC coating and f/1.4, the most sought-after Takumar for adapted vintage shooting.

The Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 is the Super Multi Coated version of Pentax's classic fast normal prime for the M42 screw mount. The SMC designation represents the best coating quality in the Takumar line. M42 mount.

f/1.4 maximum aperture. 50mm focal length (full-frame fast normal prime). SMC (Super Multi Coated) optics. Manual focus. At approximately 240g. M42 mount.

The Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 is one of the most valued M42 lenses — the Super Multi Coating provides excellent contrast and flare resistance. Earlier Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 versions used thorium in the glass (slightly radioactive — causes yellowing). The SMC version avoids this. A classic and practical M42 fast prime.

On the used market the Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 is a sought-after M42 fast prime. Condition checks: front element for haze or yellowing, aperture blades (7 blades), focus ring smoothness. M42 mount — manual focus. Adapts to mirrorless via M42 adapter.
