Mint
Factory's MINT cameras and lenses have been overhauled or serviced to precise, like-new or near-mint specifications. All our mint items are Factory Certified and guaranteed to work flawlessly after our professional repair or CLA service.
Excellent
Factory items rated as EXCELLENT are thoroughly tested and inspected with task-specific equipment (shutter speed testers, for example) to ensure they function properly and accurately. Any existing flaws will be documented, but they will not impact typical use.
Good
All items with status GOOD are hand-tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order. These items perform well, but may just show signs of use and wear, i.e. they are not in perfect cosmetic condition. Flaws will be noted, but they will not affect typical use.
Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that may affect their functionality. Even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform as smoothly as new or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions properly.
Please note that since FAIR items did not meet our quality control standards, we do not guarantee their performance or condition. Items are sold as-is.
The Pentax 50mm f/2 SMC Pentax-A is a lightweight and reliable prime lens designed for Pentax K-mount cameras. With its bright f/2 aperture, it delivers sharp images, smooth bokeh, and natural colour rendition, making it ideal for portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting.
Unlike its M-series counterpart, the A-series version features auto-aperture functionality, allowing for seamless exposure control on compatible Pentax cameras. The Super Multi-Coating (SMC) reduces flare and enhances contrast, while the smooth manual focus ensures precise adjustments.
