Pentax Espio 928 point-and-shoot 35mm film camera (serial 5546977)

The Pentax Epsio 928 (aka Pentax IQZoom 928) is one of the best models in the venerable Espio/IQZoom series of 35mm film cameras. In our opinion, its 28-90mm zoom range is the most versatile and practical for general photography (the 28mm wide end is excellent for street photography and the 90mm telephoto is an ideal focal length for flattering portraits).

It's a very simple camera to use but offers some advanced features like double exposure and bulb sychro shooting.

Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed and all major functions are working well (we didn't develop the film). We however did verify the lens sharpness and focus accuracy on an autocollimator. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition (see photos).
