Pentax's compact 35mm film point-and-shoot — basic zoom camera for casual film photography.

The Pentax Espio 738 is a 35mm point-and-shoot compact film camera with a 38-70mm zoom lens. Variable aperture f/4.8 at 38mm to f/8.5 at 70mm. At approximately 320g. Fully automatic exposure. Fixed non-interchangeable zoom lens.

35mm film format. Fixed 38-70mm zoom, f/4.8 (wide) to f/8.5 (tele). Fully automatic exposure. DX film coding. Approximately 320g. Fixed lens — no interchangeable mount. Built-in flash. Automatic AF.

The Espio 738 positions as Pentax's entry-level budget-compact: the 38-70mm zoom provides a practical wide-to-telephoto range for everyday snapshots. The fully automatic operation — DX coding, auto-flash, auto-AF — required no user exposure input, targeting the consumer snapshot market. The variable maximum aperture (f/4.8-f/8.5) limits low-light capability.

On the used market the Pentax Espio 738 is very affordable as a vintage compact point-and-shoot. Condition checks: zoom mechanism operation, lens element for marks, battery contacts, film advance mechanism. Fixed 38-70mm zoom; no interchangeable mount.
