    Overview

    The SMC Pentax 24mm f/3.5, part of the Takumar series, is praised for its exceptional build quality, with smooth focus and confident aperture clicks. Optically, it delivers stunning center sharpness at f/3.5, but corners fall off. The lens is front-heavy on bodies like the Spotmatic. It suits photographers who appreciate vintage handling and wide-angle film photography, though corner performance may be a consideration.
