Description — Pentax 150mm f/2.8 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar
The Pentax 67 150mm f/2.8 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar is a prime telephoto lens built for the Pentax 67 medium format camera system. With a fixed 150mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it delivers a fast, capable option for medium format telephoto work. The lens connects via the Pentax 67 mount, ensuring it is purpose-built for that system.
Focusing is entirely manual, with no autofocus functionality. The 77mm filter thread offers broad compatibility with professional filter systems. Weighing in at 840g, the lens reflects the build requirements of covering a medium format image circle with a telephoto design.
The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar name denotes Pentax's multi-coating treatment, a defining characteristic of the Takumar lens lineage. Image stabilization is not present in this lens. For photographers working with the Pentax 67 system who want a dedicated 150mm prime at f/2.8, this lens offers native mount compatibility and the considered, single-focal-length approach that primes demand.
