Our editorial take on the Pentax 28-105mm F/4-5.6 SMC FA IF Silver K Mount Autofocus Lens
The Pentax 28-105mm F/4-5.6 SMC FA IF is a standard zoom lens designed for Pentax K-mount cameras, offering a versatile focal range that covers wide-angle to short telephoto. Released during the film era, this lens features internal focusing (IF) and Pentax's Super Multi-Coating (SMC) to reduce flare and ghosting. The variable aperture of f/4 to f/5.6 is typical for zoom lenses of this generation.
At an MSRP of $49 and available in excellent used condition, this lens represents an affordable entry point for photographers looking to expand their Pentax kit without significant investment. The 28-105mm range makes it suitable for general-purpose shooting, from landscapes to portraits. While it lacks the speed and modern optical refinements of contemporary glass, it provides functional coverage for daylight shooting and casual use on both film and digital Pentax bodies.
