Grade & Condition:
By The 35mm Club
$239.95 AUD

Perfect for:

  • New film photographers stepping into 35mm

  • Everyday moments and travel snapshots

  • Those who want a compact vintage camera

Looking for a compact, no-fuss 35mm camera that still gives you some creative flexibility? The Pentax Espio 80 (also sold as the IQZoom 835) is a fully automatic point-and-shoot that combines ease of use, solid performance, and classic ‘90s appeal.

✔ Slim, grab-and-go design – At roughly 124 × 65 × 33.5mm and around 210g (with battery), the Espio 80 is lightweight and pocketable — built for capturing life without fuss. 

✔ 35-80 mm versatile zoom for real-life shooting – Its Pentax zoom lens (f/4.1–8.7) lets you cover wide scenes through short portraits. It’s not extreme, but it’s flexible enough for street, vacation, and everyday angles. 

✔ Fully automatic operation, just point and shoot – Aperture, shutter speed, film advance and rewind are all handled by the camera. All you control is flash mode and framing. 

✔ Helpful extras built in – Features include red-eye reduction flash, panorama cropping mode, self-timer, and multiple flash settings (auto, fill, off). 

✔ Reliable autofocus & exposure – The Espio 80 uses a multi-AF system and automatic metering, giving generally well-exposed, sharp results in everyday lighting without needing deep technical know-how.

Whether it’s your first foray into analog photography or a simple, dependable addition to your gear, the Pentax Espio 80 gives you that vintage 35mm feel — no heavy learning curve, just capture and enjoy.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately)
