    Overview

    The SMC Pentax-M 24-35mm f/3.5 is a wide-angle zoom lens for Pentax K mount cameras with a constant f/3.5 aperture. Optical strengths include good sharpness across the zoom range, though some distortion and chromatic aberration may be present. Build quality is typical of the Pentax-M series: compact and all-metal, but with a manual focus design that may feel dated. It suits photographers seeking a versatile, affordable wide-angle zoom for film or digital, but lacks autofocus and modern coatings.
