The Pentax Auto 110 is a single lens reflex camera that uses 110 film cartridge.It was introduced in 1978 with three interchangeable lenses and three more were introduced in 19...81.The camera system was available until 1985.
This model represents the only complete ultraminiature SLR system manufactured for the 110 film format, although several fixed-lens 110 SLRs were sold.
The camera system also claims to be the smallest interchangeable-lens SLR system ever created.Cameras and lenses were made to professional SLR standards of quality. The camera sports fully automatic exposure, metering is TTL (through-the-lens) and center-weighted. The A110 lenses do not have a diaphragm. Instead, an iris inside the camera functions as both aperture and shutter. The camera's mirror system also functions as a light-tight seal when in the viewing and focusing position. Since the iris is part of the camera, all of the system's lenses had to be constructed with an f/2.8 aperture.
The "Safari" model was never officially imported to the US. It was usedinstead as a presentation item to selected dealers and company officials. Hence its rarity and collectability.
Camera is in superb cosmetic condition showing minimal wear.It has been tested in working condition.Both lenses are crystal clear with no issues whatsoever.
Buy with confidence.Thank you.
