This time, we introduced a PENTAX autofocus zoom compact camera released in 1995.
The Espio 115M is based on the world’s first compact camera with zoom, the Zoom 70, which was released by PENTAX in 1986.
It was a compact camera with various functions in spite of its compact size.

The Espio series was a long-selling compact camera that lasted until 2003.
I hope to introduce other models in this series when I have a chance, so please look forward to it!
