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.
