Description — Pentax 75mm f/4.5 SMC Shift
The Pentax 67 75mm f/4.5 SMC Shift Lens is a prime, manual focus optic built exclusively for the Pentax 67 medium format mount. Classified as a tilt-shift type lens, it incorporates a shift mechanism that allows photographers to physically displace the optical axis relative to the sensor or film plane — enabling perspective correction without the need for post-processing manipulation. The lens covers the medium format frame and features a 75mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/4.5.
Its 82mm filter thread is generously sized, supporting large-format filtration for long-exposure and specialized work. Weighing in at 890g, this is a substantial piece of glass that rewards careful, deliberate technique. Image stabilization is not included, making tripod use the standard approach for the precision-focused workflows this lens serves. Whether used for architectural photography requiring straight verticals or controlled studio compositions, this lens delivers shift functionality within the Pentax 67 system.
