Asahi Pentax *istD
The Asahi Pentax *istD is a digital SLR built around an APS-C sensor with the Pentax K-mount, positioned in the early-2000s enthusiast bracket as a compact body compatible with existing Pentax K-mount lenses.
At UK auction, the *istD trades at modest hammer levels: a recent saleroom result in January 2026 came in at £70, and with only one tracked sale there is no meaningful range to quote today. Buyers asking what the *istD is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative rather than a firm market price, as condition and the presence of a working battery grip or charger can move what it sells for.
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
How much does an Asahi Pentax *istD sell for at UK auction?
The most recent tracked UK auction hammer price is £70, though with only one recorded sale this should be read as a single data point rather than a settled market value.
What is a Pentax *istD worth today?
On current evidence the *istD is a low-value digital SLR at saleroom level, with the latest hammer price at £70; clean, fully working examples with accessories may achieve more.
Is the *istD compatible with older Pentax lenses?
Yes, it uses the Pentax K bayonet mount, so K-mount manual and autofocus lenses can be fitted, subject to the usual metering and autofocus limitations of older glass on digital bodies.
