In my 1976 Honeywell price list of lenses etc...I have several Pentax filters listed that were SMC.
52, 58 & 67mm.

Well, B&H seem to think so - they list them as in stock.

According to one reply to my original query, though, the
Pentax filters are uncoated.  (Which seems odd, given that
one strength of the Pentax lenses is the coating.)


I used a genuine Pentax 52mm polorizer for the shot at:

I have just had a look at the filter and it does not say 'SMC' on the ring.
My 'Asahi Pentax Special Filters' brochure has a table on the back page
listing SMC and non-SMC filters "now available". Not sure what date this was
printed but it would be pre 1985. The only Polarizers listed are all non-SMC
(Sizes 49mm, 52mm and 58mm)
