Key Features
- 85mm focal length, ideal for portraits and street photography.
- Maximum aperture of f/1.8 with a 6-blade diaphragm, allowing good control over depth of field.
- Pentax K (PK) mount, compatible with analog and digital K-series SLR cameras via adapter.
- Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) treatment to reduce reflections and improve contrast.
- Manual focus with a smooth and precise ring, typical of the Takumar lens era.
- Metal construction with high-quality optical glass, manufactured between the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Ideal for
This lens is perfect for enthusiasts and professionals looking for a vintage lens with character for portraits, street photography, or creative projects. Its bright aperture makes it useful in low-light conditions, and its manual construction invites a slower, more thoughtful shooting experience.

What condition is the camera in?
Every camera that leaves Camera Market goes through a 28-point inspection protocol: shutter condition, autofocus accuracy, sensor integrity, seal tightness, electronic viewfinder calibration, original battery health, and eight further tests on connectivity and firmware.
The specific cosmetic condition (marks, scratches, signs of use) is documented in the actual photographs and in the technical table on the product page. We do not use catalogue images.

You receive the Pentax 85mm f/1.8 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar body with its original NP-FZ100 battery, BC-QZ1 charger, PENTAX shoulder strap, original box and printed manual. The 28-point inspection and the 6-month warranty are included in the price.
SD card not included. If you need additional accessories, browse our accessory selection.
What warranty does it have?
All cameras include 6 months of free warranty covering functional defects and technical failures.
You can extend the coverage from the warranty section on this same page:

- 24 months for €80,05 · single payment · recommended
We also offer 14-day returns with no questions asked. If you are not satisfied, full refund.
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping to the EU in 4–5 business days with tracking number. For mainland Spain, express 24–48 h option available at checkout.
Technical packaging with custom-cut foam and tamper-evident seals. Transit insurance included.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, without reservation. It has full automatic modes and eye-detection autofocus that works practically by itself, so you can start taking professional photos from day one.
When you grow, the manual controls and customisation curve are exactly what you would expect from a professional body. It is a camera you can learn with for years.
Why buy refurbished?
For three honest reasons: price (between 20 and 40% below new on high-end models), sustainability (keeping a body in circulation avoids manufacturing a new one and all its waste), and transparency: every unit has its own serial number, visible shutter count and inspection date.
Market depreciation does not affect optical or electronic performance. A Pentax 85mm f/1.8 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar with 12,000 shots takes exactly the same photos as one with 0.
