Pentax 50mm F/1.4 SMC FA Classic: A Lens with Unique Visual Effects

The Pentax 50mm F/1.4 SMC FA Classic is a prime lens that has been specifically engineered to create distinctively unique photographic effects, particularly the rainbow flare. This particular visual effect - a signature design of this lens - renders a nostalgic and special look, which can no longer be achieved with contemporary lenses.

As the name implies, the rainbow flare can be adjusted by altering your positioning or frame in relation to the light source, thus controlling the size and placement of the effect.

The standard lens offers a fixed focal length which is ideal for a multitude of subjects. The angle of view closely replicates the human eye, rendering the lens incredibly versatile. Its large maximum aperture of f/1.4 allows for images with minimal depth of field, making your subject distinct against the backdrop. Additionally, the use of eight diaphragm blades contribute to a natural, soft bokeh effect which results in dreamy photos.

Enhanced with a high-quality, multilayer HD coating, the lens effectively reduces distortions, delivering bright, contrast-rich images. Even under challenging light conditions, the images remain well-defined and clear from one edge to the other. Pentax's unique SP coating repels water and oil, offering robust lens protection.

With a diaphragm ring on the lens body and a built-in motor coupled autofocusing system, the lens offers full compatibility with older K-mount and film format SLR cameras, enabling full functionality of older models when using this lens.
