Description — Pentax 90-180mm f/5.6 SMC
The Pentax 67 90-180mm f/5.6 SMC Lens is a zoom lens designed for the Pentax 67 medium format camera system. With a focal length range of 90mm to 180mm, it covers telephoto ground and offers the compositional flexibility of a zoom within a single optic. The maximum aperture of f/5.6 remains constant across the zoom range, providing consistent and predictable exposure.
Focusing is entirely manual, placing control directly with the photographer — a natural fit for the measured, precise approach that medium format work often calls for. There is no image stabilization, so a steady hand or physical support is recommended, particularly toward the longer end of the range. The lens mounts natively via the Pentax 67 mount, making it a seamless addition to an existing Pentax 67 system kit.
For photographers shooting portraits, landscapes, or other subjects that benefit from telephoto reach on medium format, this lens delivers a practical zoom range in a single package.
