Pentax lens

Bayonet K (Pentax lens) - standard lens mount for small-format film and digital SLR cameras. Proposed by Asahi Optical (better known as Pentax) in 1974 as the basis for a unified standard fasteners and has since been used for all manufactured by 35mm and digital SLR cameras. With the K-mount Pentax lens were produced and released a number of other cameras and lenses third-party developers: Sigma, KMZ (Zenit), Tamron, Samsung, Cosina, Vivitar and others.


Originally mount type Bayonet K is a slightly modified mount constructive "Practika." The firm Asahi Pentax offered to use it as a base for a single mount, but in practice, according to the manufacturer photographic dispersed. Russia option to mount (GOST 24 692) was adapted to the existing state standards in the country and somewhat simplified for the sake of cheaper production. Alas, the adaptation has created several options for mount. Abroad, various manufacturers retain inherent Asahi Pentax basic dimensions, but have made numerous changes to the geometry and mechanisms. Thus, each manufacturer has sought to ensure success is its lineup of lenses (for example, bayonet RK).

Industar 61 L Z 2.8/50mm SLR Russian lens for Pentax
Industar 61 L Z lens history. Industar-61 L/Z four m42 lenses anastigmat average luminosity with enlightened eyes. Equipped with iris, in the version for SLR cameras - more "jumping" diaphragm.   Industar 61 L Z lens history   Industar-61 L/Z four lens anastigmat average luminosity with enlightened eyes. Equipped with iris, in the version for SLR cameras - more "jumping" diaphragm.   Lens is of Tessar design. It is a moderately fast lens with high resolution and high image quality. The optical components are made of LANTHANUM (that’s what the “L” in its name stands for) glass, which provides for more even resolution at both the centre and edges of the field. The lens is fitted with a diaphragm preselection device. Resolution and colour saturation are excellent. Having the I-61-L/Z is like having an updated Tessar: faster maximum aperture (f/2,8 instead of f/3,5), efficient anti-reflection coating, and modified glass formula make for a very high quality lens. Though it can focus to as close as 0,30 metres, the I-61-L/Z is not a true “macro lens”. It is just a close-focusing lens. Its field isn’t flat enough at close distances to make it a true macro, but it does well enough for most close-up applications. Industar-61-L/Z is normally monocoated. The multicoated version is marked “MC”.
