Pentax's long-zoom Espio compact — 38-135mm f/4.8-12, IR remote, CR123A power; IQZoom 135M in the US.
The Pentax Espio 135M is a late-1990s autofocus zoom compact from the upper end of Pentax's Espio line, sold in North America as the IQZoom 135M. It offered one of the longer zoom reaches in the range at the time, in a body that still fits a coat pocket.
The lens is a 38-135mm zoom of 8 elements in 6 groups with a maximum aperture of f/4.8-12, and closest focus is 0.8m. The shutter spans 2 seconds to 1/400 plus a one-minute bulb, DX coding covers ISO 25-3200, and the auto zoom flash recycles in about 5 seconds with a quoted reach of 0.8-7.6m at 38mm on ISO 400 film. An infrared remote release with 3-second delay was supported, and power comes from a single CR123A lithium cell. The body measures 113.5 x 66 x 50mm at around 235g.
It suits travellers and casual portrait shooters who value reach over speed: 135mm frames faces nicely outdoors, but the very slow f/12 long end leans on flash or fast film indoors. Fully automatic operation with flash-on and flash-off overrides keeps it simple for any user.
These cameras need a live CR123A battery to do anything, so test power, zoom and flash before purchase. The mode/frame LCD is a known weak point on aged examples and some sell with dead displays, so check it. Confirm the zoom extends to full 135mm without stalling and that film-door seals and the remote-control receiver window are intact.
