Pentax's 1996 zoom compact — 38-115mm power zoom, five-point AF, sold as IQZoom 115M in the US

The Pentax Espio 115M was a mid-range 35mm autofocus zoom compact introduced in 1996, part of the Espio series that formed Pentax's premium point-and-shoot line through the 1990s. In North America it was sold as the IQZoom 115M, while the Espio name was used in the UK and Europe. It sat between the shorter-zoom Espio models and the longer 120 and 140 designs, and was later followed by the redesigned Espio 115V.

The lens is a 38-115mm f/3.9-10.5 Pentax electronic power zoom with seven elements in six groups. Focusing uses a five-point phase-matching autofocus system from 0.65m to infinity with focus lock and a focus-assist illuminator for low light. Exposure is programmed AE with a 1/300 to 2 second shutter range plus a bulb setting; film speed is set by DX coding from ISO 25 to 3200. The built-in flash has red-eye reduction and a quoted 9.4m range at ISO 400. Power comes from a single CR2 lithium cell; the body measures 111x61x40.5mm and weighs 215g without battery.

A pocketable all-automatic zoom compact, the 115M suits casual 35mm shooters who want more reach than a fixed-lens point-and-shoot. Its five-point autofocus was unusually capable for the class, but the slow f/10.5 telephoto end leans heavily on flash or fast film indoors, so it is at its best outdoors in decent light. A panorama mask and diopter-adjustable real-image finder round out the package.

The camera will not fire without a healthy CR2 battery, so test power-up, zoom extension and rewind before relying on one. Check the flash charges within a few seconds, the top-plate LCD shows full segments without bleed, and the film-door light seals are intact. Confirm exactly which model is on offer: the plain Espio 115, this 115M, and the later 115V are different cameras that sellers often mix up.
