Asahi Pentax Honeywell Pentax H1
The Honeywell Pentax H1 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera, sold in the United States under the Honeywell Pentax badge that distributor Honeywell applied to Asahi Pentax bodies during the late 1950s and 1960s. It was positioned as an entry-level film SLR within that import line.
Sales data for the H1 in the UK auction market is extremely thin: a single recorded hammer result of £200 from 2004 is the only reference point we have, and that wholesale, pre-commission figure is more than two decades old. As of 2026, anyone trying to gauge what a Honeywell Pentax H1 is worth today should treat that lone saleroom price as indicative only and look at comparable Asahi Pentax bodies of the same era for a more current sense of value.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Honeywell Pentax H1 worth at auction?
The only UK auction hammer price in our records is £200, achieved in 2004; with just one data point it is not possible to give a reliable current market value.
How much does a Honeywell Pentax H1 sell for today?
There are no recent UK saleroom results in our dataset, so a current sells-for figure cannot be quoted with confidence; condition, working shutter and any included lens will drive price more than the badge itself.
Is the Honeywell Pentax H1 the same camera as an Asahi Pentax model?
Honeywell was the US distributor that rebadged Asahi Pentax SLRs for the American market, so H-series Honeywell Pentax bodies share their mechanics with their Asahi Pentax counterparts.
