This lens is exactly what I needed for portraits, on my Pentax 645N camera... 120 film, but the lens also works on the newer 645D digital. 150mm here is the same as 85mm on a 35mm full-frame camera. This just right for portraits, and for architectural details, if you like interior photography. Like every other Pentax lens I've ever used on the 645N, it is sharp, clear... excellent image quality.
very good sharpness but contrast a little medium, very good cheap lens

This SMC Pentax-A 645 lens is a great value and solidly built. It makes a portraiture/near-telephoto focal length available without being exceptionally costly. It may be a bit slower than Pentax's other 645 150mm offering (f/3.5 for this versus f/2.8 for the FA autofocus version) and have fewer elements than its autofocus successor, but optical resolution is still quite crisp. I already had a screw-mount lens hood readied for it, but it comes with a built-in hood as well. Because autofocus lenses may be where demand is greater, this is a sleeper value. I am recommending it to colleagues who are adopting the Pentax 645 system, even if they use a 645NII.
nice piece
