Asahi Pentax Auto 110

The Asahi Pentax Auto 110 is a sub-miniature single-lens reflex camera for 110 cartridge film, introduced by Asahi Optical in 1978. Unusually for the 110 format, it was built as a full SLR system with interchangeable bayonet-mount lenses, programmed automatic exposure and a through-the-lens viewfinder, positioned as a compact travel alternative to 35mm SLRs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Pentax Auto 110 have ranged from about £20 to £190, with a median sitting close to £80 across 2022–2025 saleroom results. Values today in 2026 are highly condition- and completeness-sensitive: bare bodies trade at the lower end, while kits bundled with multiple 110-mount lenses, winder and flash account for the stronger results such as the £188 sale in late 2025. These are wholesale hammer figures and exclude auction commission, so dealer retail on comparable examples generally sits above this range.
