Pentax Espio 738G 35mm Point & Shoot film camera with 38-70mm zoom lens
Description:
The Espio 738G is another great point and shoot by Pentax. The 38-70mm zoom covers a practical everyday range, the infrared autofocus is quick and reliable, and one feature that stands out for a camera this affordable is the bulb mode, which goes up to 5 minutes. That is rare on a compact point and shoot and opens up options for night photography, light trails, and long exposures that most cameras in this class simply do not have. The G variant comes in a metallic body finish, which gives it a slightly more refined look than the standard 738. Red-eye reduction, backlight compensation, and a self-timer round out a solid set of everyday features. A dependable, unpretentious camera that is easy to recommend as a first film camera or daily carry.
