Pentax Espio 928
The Pentax Espio 928 stands out as a highly regarded point-and-shoot camera, packed with an impressive array of advanced features that were rare for mid-1990s compact zoom cameras.
Some of the most compact zoom cameras of the 1990s started at a somewhat narrow focal length, like 35 mm or 38 mm. The Espio 928 features an SMC Pentax 28–90mm lens, offering a true 28mm wide-angle perspective. This makes it significantly better than its peers for shooting landscapes, architecture, street photography, and tight group shots.
At 28mm, the lens has a maximum aperture of f/3.5. This is considered quite fast for an integrated zoom point-and-shoot of this era. It allows more light into the camera, making it much more capable in lower-light situations without immediately forcing the flash to fire.
The purchase includes a battery, an original carrying case, and one roll of 35 mm that you can develop at the shop.
