Pentax SMC FA 75mm f/2.8 Lens

Introduction

The smc FA 75mm f/2.8 Lens from Pentax is a standard or normal lens with a 35mm format equivalent focal length of 59mm and a 40.5 degree angle of view that closely approximates the human field of vision. The focal length allows a relatively simple 6 element/5 group lens design that produces sharp detail with a minimum of aberrations. The 75mm f/2.8 renders images without curvature of field found in wide angle lens or the flatness and compression found in telephotos.

Its fast 2.8 maximum aperture is brighter in the viewfinder and allows low light shooting without hiking up the ISO, renders artfully blurred backgrounds and permits higher shutter speeds in standard lighting conditions.
