The SMC Pentax 67 2.4/105 is more than just a lens for classic medium format cameras –  it's a window to images with incredible depth and beauty. This lens offers:

• Classic Build: Sturdy metal construction with a brass lens mount – it feels like quality.

• Sharp and Dreamy: Incredible detail yet gorgeous bokeh thanks to its fast f/2.4 aperture.

• Optical Artistry: Special glass elements ensure rich color and minimal distortion across the frame.

• Perfect Portrait Length: That 105mm sweet spot is flattering but versatile.

Beyond the Pentax 67

While made for the iconic Pentax medium format cameras, this lens is surprisingly adaptable. I use the Kipon Baveyes P67 adapter on my Sony A7sii, getting a slight focal length boost and that incredible medium format look.

Manual Focus, Modern Assists

While focusing is fully manual, the Kipon adapter adds no extra glass to degrade quality, and modern cameras offer focus peaking to help you nail that critical sharpness. The lens's weight takes some getting used to, but the results are worth it.

Who's It For?

• Medium Format Shooters: A must-have if you own a Pentax 6x7 or 67.

• Portrait Lovers: Creates gorgeous subject isolation with beautiful backgrounds.

• Image Quality Purists: If you want that special depth only medium format offers.

• Adventurous Adapters: Willing to work manually for incredible results on their mirrorless camera.

The Verdict

The SMC Pentax 67 2.4/105 is a special lens. If you crave a slow, deliberate shooting experience and images with a soul, it's well worth adding to your arsenal...no matter what camera you use.
