This auction is for an Asahi Pentax Auto 110, SLR System kit that contains most of the items that were included when it was first sold in the early 1980s.
The Pentax Auto 110 was the smallest true Single Lens Reflex (SLR), Interchangeable-lens Camera System ever produced and it used the Kodak 110 cassette film format to keep the size down.
Thanks to Lomography, this film is still available and may be purchased via eBay. There are a number of companies who process 110 film listed on the Internet.
I have purchased various Pentax 110 items since the 1980s. The basis of this kit was purchased some years ago via eBay but for a long time it has lived in a drawer. Space limitations means it is now time for someone else to enjoy it.
The following items are included (all Pentax):-Auto 110 SLR Camera serial number 1395063AF130P Flash110 Winder serial number 368896 – as is often the case, the lugs have broken on the battery compartment lid (will require gaffer tape or similar to hold it securely in place).24mm f1:2.8 lens with lens cap (attached to camera), serial number 138007818mm f1:2.8 lens with rear cap, serial number 118782950mm f1:2.8 lens with rear cap, serial number 1337604Soft Camera case – in very poor condition – covering flaking off (included for completeness inside tissue paper to keep box clean).Soft case for the FlashTripod Mount (for use with 50mm lens)37.5mm Lens HoodWrist StrapOriginal System Box that has been modified to accept a total of 11 Filters/Close-up lensesAuto 110 System Users Instruction Manual and Filter/Close-up detailsThe following Filters and Close-up lenses in Pentax screw-top cases:Skylight Filters – 25.5, 30.5 and 37.5mmUV Filter – 37.5mmS16 and S31 close-up for the 24mm lensW21 close-up for the 18mm lensT43 and T86 close-up for the 50mm lens
I have tested the Camera, Winder and Flash with batteries and as far as I can ascertain, they all operate correctly. If there has been any doubt, I have replaced the item with another from my collection. (Please Note: None of these tests have been carried out with film in the camera so no actual film exposures have been made).
I have peered into the lenses looking for signs of damage. As you would expect, there is some dust but as far as I can see there is nothing that would be detrimental to the image. The only moving part in each lens is the focussing ring (aperture controlled within the camera body) and these move smoothly and easily on all three lenses.
