Asahi Pentax *ist DL
The Asahi Pentax *ist DL is a digital SLR using the Pentax K lens mount, positioned as an entry-level model in Pentax's mid-2000s DSLR lineup. It was a stripped-down companion to the *ist D series aimed at first-time digital SLR buyers.
Sales data for the *ist DL is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from July 2024 saw a body sell for £38, indicating that today these cameras carry minimal value at saleroom level. With only one data point, a meaningful price range cannot be quoted, but the figure suggests current worth sits in the low double digits when sold without a lens.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Asahi Pentax *ist DL worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction evidence available, a body-only *ist DL sells for around £38 at hammer, though a single sale is not enough to establish a firm market price.
How much does a Pentax *ist DL sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction hammer price in our data is £38 from 2024; condition, included lens and accessories would shift that figure either way.
Is the Pentax *ist DL a good entry into K-mount digital?
It accepts Pentax K-mount lenses and, given the low price level, can be a low-cost route into the system, but verify shutter operation and sensor cleanliness before buying.
