Pentax Espio 120SW 35mm Point & Shoot film camera with 28-120mm zoom lens
Description:
The 120SW won the TIPA compact camera of the year award in 2001 and it is easy to see why. The headline feature is fitting a 28-120mm zoom into a body that weighs just 190g and measures only 111mm wide. Most cameras this compact start at 35mm or 38mm, so the genuine 28mm wide end is a real advantage for street photography, travel, interiors, and anywhere you want more context in the frame. The 120mm end gives you comfortable portrait compression without the camera growing to match it. The aluminium body has rounded contours that slip into a pocket easily despite the zoom range. An illuminated LCD that activates in low light, infinity focus lock, spot AF mode, bulb mode, diopter adjustment, and panorama function add up to a feature set well above the class. A genuinely impressive piece of engineering.
