Asahi Pentax Espio AF Zoom
The Asahi Pentax Espio AF Zoom is a 35mm autofocus compact camera with a built-in zoom lens, part of Pentax's Espio line of point-and-shoot models aimed at everyday users who wanted a pocketable zoom camera without the bulk of an SLR.
At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the Espio AF Zoom have been modest, with two recorded sales at £12 and £25 — so today's worth sits in the region of £12–£25 at saleroom level, with a median around £19. With so few data points, condition, working zoom and flash, and inclusion of a case or strap are the main factors that determine what any given example sells for.
