The Pentax PC-550 is a lightweight and simple autofocus 35mm film camera with a 28mm f5 fixed wide-angle lens (3 elements in 3 groups). It requires 2 AA batteries (not included). The original case is included.

Condition notes
All functions of the camera were tested with a battery installed and film running (to verify the film drive motor). The film was not developed. We verified both the camera's autofocus and autoexposure are working correctly. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition with the only noteworthy blemish being a serial number engraved in the bottom by the original owner (see photos). The original case is included but is somewhat worn (see photo).
