Pentax Espio 115S
The Pentax Espio 115S (aka IQZoom 115V) is one of the later models in this underrated line of compact point-and-shoot 35mm cameras. Compared to the earlier Espio cameras, the 115S is similarly easy to use and a bit more refined (it features a faster top shutter speed and other tweaks).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed and all functions are working well (we didn't develop the film). The camera is in excellent aesthetic condition (see photos).

Features
The 38mm-115mm (3X) power zoom lens features a high-performance optical design to deliver top quality images.
The easy-to-read LCD panel provides vital operational information at a glance, using easy-to-understand icons and numbers.
The IQZoom 115V's reliable autofocus and auto-exposure operation let even beginners take sharp, clear images, frame after frame, with extreme ease.
The built-in multi-function auto flash offers five different modes to meet various requirements including: auto flash, flash-on, flash-off, slow-shutter sync and red-eye reduction mode to reduce the annoying "red eye" effect in the subject's eyes.
The actual-image zoom viewfinder adjusts the viewfinder image according to the selected focal length. It also offers a close-distance compensation frame, in-focus confirmation, close-distance warning, and a flash discharge signal.
Foolproof auto film loading allows you to change film quickly and easily.
Automatic film advance and rewind make shooting easy.
The built-in electronic self-timer delays the shutter release by 10 seconds, allowing the photographer to join family and friends for memorable pictures together.
The Infinity-landscape mode lets the user instantly fix the camera's focus at infinity to capture distant landscapes in sharp, crisp focus. _specs
