The 35mm f2.8 SMC Pentax is a sharp, compact lens with a natural wide view, great for street photography, travel and everyday shots. A camera that teaches you how to shoot.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
