Pentax Espio AF Zoom Full Macro | Versatile Point-and-Shoot with Precision Optics

The Pentax Espio AF Zoom (also known as the IQZoom in certain markets) is a sophisticated 35mm compact camera renowned for its sharp optics and specialized macro capabilities. Featuring a high-quality 35-70mm zoom lens, this model allows photographers to transition effortlessly from wide-angle snapshots to intimate portraits. This specific unit, serial number 5715557, is the "Full Macro" edition, which distinguishes itself with an advanced focusing system that allows for impressive close-up photography—a rare feature in the world of vintage point-and-shoots. Its sleek, ergonomic design and fully automated features make it a reliable companion for capturing everyday moments with professional-grade clarity.

Key Features

  • Full Macro Capability: Stand out from other compacts with the ability to focus on subjects at very close range, perfect for capturing textures, flowers, and fine details.

  • Pentax 35-70mm Zoom Lens: A versatile focal range that covers everything from street photography to short-telephoto portraits.

  • Advanced Multi-Point Autofocus: Provides fast and accurate focusing even on subjects that are not centered in the frame.

  • Intelligent Built-in Flash: Features multiple modes including red-eye reduction, fill-flash, and slow-sync for balanced night-time exposures.

  • Automatic Film Handling: Enjoy a seamless shooting experience with auto film loading, DX-code ISO sensing, and motorized winding/rewinding.

Condition Report

  • Body: Good condition. The body is well-preserved with only minor surface marks consistent with careful previous use. The battery door and film compartment are clean and secure.

  • Sensor / Optics: The lens is clean and clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The viewfinder is bright with clear frame lines and macro compensation marks.

  • Mechanics / Electronics: Fully functional. The zoom mechanism operates smoothly throughout the range. The autofocus is responsive, and the flash fires reliably with a quick recycle time.

  • Shutter Count: Not applicable (Analog film camera).

"The Espio series is widely considered some of the best-built compacts of the 90s. The 'Full Macro' version is particularly special because it gives you a level of creative freedom most point-and-shoots simply can't handle. It’s a pocketable powerhouse for the detail-oriented photographer."
