Asahi Pentax PC35 AF-M
The Asahi Pentax PC35 AF-M is a 35mm fixed-lens compact camera with autofocus, aimed at the consumer point-and-shoot market when introduced in the 1980s.
Sales data for the PC35 AF-M is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from late 2024 stands at £44, which gives a wholesale reference point rather than a reliable median. Today the model sits at the low end of the 1980s compact market, and what a PC35 AF-M is worth in any given sale will hinge heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the electronics still fire.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Asahi Pentax PC35 AF-M worth today?
On the limited evidence available, a PC35 AF-M sells for around £44 at UK auction hammer, though with only one recorded sale this price should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Pentax PC35 AF-M sell for at auction?
The only logged UK hammer result is £44 from October 2024; clean, fully working examples could plausibly achieve more, but there is not enough sales history to confirm a range.
Is the Pentax PC35 AF-M a collectable camera?
It is a consumer-grade 35mm autofocus compact rather than a collector-tier model, so its value is driven by user demand for working film point-and-shoots rather than rarity.
