The Pentax Auto 110 has been one of my favorite discoveries as a photographer. After years of looking, I have finally acquired one today and at a ridiculously low price! It’s incredibly fits-in-your-pocket small—but still a proper SLR with interchangeable lenses, which is unheard of for a 110mm format film camera.
The 50mm f/2.8 lens is for portraits; it gives such a nice sharpness while still keeping everything lightweight and compact. The 24mm f/2.8 lens will be my go-to for casual walks and capturing scenes with a bit of a wider perspective. And then there’s the 18mm f/2.8 lens, which is just plain fun—it’s perfect for those dramatic wide-angle shots, especially of architecture or landscapes.
The external flash is a bit of a bonus. I don’t use flash all that often, but when I do, it works really well and keeps the whole system feeling like a cohesive little kit. Overall, it’s such a neat setup for someone like me who just enjoys experimenting with film photography without lugging around a ton of gear.
