Pentax 105mm F/2.4 SMC Takumar Lens For Pentax 6X7 Series Review

The Pentax 105mm F/2.4 SMC Takumar is a legacy standard lens designed for the Pentax 6x7 medium format system, a camera series prized by film photographers for its image quality and build. At 105mm with a fast F/2.4 aperture, this lens offers a classic field of view for portraiture and general shooting on the 6x7 format, with the speed to work in lower light and deliver shallow depth of field when needed.

This is a used lens available through KEH, graded in conditions ranging from bargain to excellent. As a legacy optic, it lacks modern conveniences like autofocus or electronic communication with digital bodies, and compatibility is limited to the 6x7 film system. Condition and pricing will vary based on the specific grade you choose. At the listed MSRP of $430, it sits in the mid-range for used 6x7 glass, appealing to film shooters looking to build out or refresh their kit with a versatile, fast standard lens.
