Small, light, automatic and stylish. One of the easiest SLR cameras to use – perfect for any occasion.

All three share the same lightweight and ultra-compact chassis, showcasing great build quality and lovely to use controls.

You choose the lens aperture (which gives you control of depth-of-field) and the camera automatically sets the correct shutter speed. The clear LED display lets you know the shutter speed warns you of over / under exposure if needed. Pentax put some thought into making film loading easy too – when loading film the camera has a special spool with many slots so it is faster more reliable to load film correctly.
