Operación de la lente
Enfoque manual
The SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7 is a manual focus lens. To achieve sharp focus:
- Mira a través de tu cámara viewBuscador o usa Live View en la pantalla LCD de su cámara.
- Rotate the focus ring (the wider ring closer to the front of the lens) until your subject appears sharp.
- Many modern Pentax cameras offer focus peaking or focus confirmation indicators to assist with manual focusing. Refer to your camera's manual for details.

Control de apertura
The aperture controls the amount of light entering the lens and affects the depth of field. To adjust the aperture:
- Locate the aperture ring, which is typically closer to the camera body.
- Rotate the ring to select your desired f-stop (e.g., F1.7, F2.8, F5.6, F16). A smaller f-number (e.g., F1.7) indicates a wider aperture, allowing more light and creating a shallower depth of field. A larger f-number (e.g., F16) indicates a narrower aperture, allowing less light and creating a greater depth of field.
- For cameras that do not automatically meter with M-series lenses, you may need to use stop-down metering or shoot in manual mode and adjust settings based on a light meter or trial and error.
Mantenimiento
Limpieza de la lente
- Elementos de la lente: Use a lens blower brush to remove loose dust. For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean microfiber lens cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
- Cuerpo del objetivo: Limpie el cuerpo del objetivo con un paño suave y seco. Evite el uso de productos químicos o disolventes agresivos.
Almacenamiento
- Always attach front and rear lens caps when the lens is not in use.
- Guarde la lente en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas.
- Si lo va a almacenar durante períodos prolongados, considere usar un gabinete deshumidificador o paquetes de gel de sílice para evitar el crecimiento de moho.
