Its compact size makes it a pleasure to carry, while the renowned SMC Pentax 50mm f/2 produces crisp images with beautiful colour rendition and classic background separation. Whether you’re photographing portraits, travel, street scenes or everyday life, this combination delivers timeless results.

Condition

This camera is presented in excellent vintage condition and has clearly been well cared for throughout its life.

The body remains clean with only light signs of age consistent with careful use. The lens is clean and performs beautifully, although—as expected with a camera of this age—there are a few minute dust particles within the lens and a small number of tiny particles visible in the viewfinder. These are purely cosmetic, are common on vintage cameras of this era, and do not affect image quality or normal operation.

All functions, including the light meter, have been tested prior to listing.

A Note on Vintage Cameras (Our Promise)

Every camera sold by Haus of Focus is individually sourced, carefully inspected, cleaned and fully tested before dispatch. We also include fresh batteries wherever required, so your camera arrives ready to load with film.

These cameras are wonderful pieces of photographic history, typically between 30 and 60 years old. While they are fully operational when they leave us, vintage mechanical and electronic equipment naturally continue to age, and future performance may be influenced by use, storage and environmental conditions.

Buying vintage means embracing equipment with history, character and individuality—and we’re committed to ensuring every camera begins its next chapter in the very best condition possible.
