On normal film camera lenses, the lens nameplate (lens name, etc.) is located at the edge of the front lens (inside the filter attachment area).

The lens nameplate (lens name, etc.) is located on the outside of the filter attachment area, near the focus ring.

Externally, the body design has a diagonal cut from the focus ring to the tip of the lens.

Compared to other lenses, this smc PENTAX-A lens is immediately recognizable as a distinctive lens because the difference in the lens nameplate can be seen at a glance.
