Asahi Pentax Zoom 105-R
The Asahi Pentax Zoom 105-R is a 35mm compact film camera with a built-in zoom lens, sold during the era when autofocus zoom point-and-shoots dominated the consumer market. It was positioned as a do-everything travel and family camera rather than an enthusiast tool.
Evidence is thin: a single UK auction hammer result (wholesale, excluding commission) recorded in March 2023 saw a Zoom 105-R sell for £19. On that basis, today the model is worth a low single-figure to low double-figure sum at saleroom level, and clean working examples rarely command a meaningful premium in the current market.
