✇Photo Rumors

PentaxRumors received a tip speculating that a new Pentax ESPIO 140 compact film camera could be the next addition to Pentax’s film lineup. This rumor arrives amid Pentax’s ongoing revival of analog photography, following their original Ricoh plan from 2022 for three new Pentax film cameras:

  • First, they will develop a compact film camera (already released: Pentax 17)
  • The second camera will be a high-end film model
  • The third camera will be a single-lens reflex (SLR)

Here are the details on the original and very well-regarded Pentax Espio 140 point-and-shoot film camera (also sold as the IQZoom 140 in some markets), introduced in 1997:

  • Lens: 38–140mm f/4.8–12.5 power zoom (8 elements in 7 groups)
  • Zoom range: Roughly 4x optical zoom, one of the longest zooms on a compact at the time
  • Autofocus: Active infrared autofocus (works well even in low light)
  • Exposure: Fully automatic program AE, with slow-shutter warning
  • Flash: Built-in pop-up flash with modes (auto, on, off, red-eye reduction, night portrait/slow-sync)
  • Macro: Can focus down to 0.6 m (about 2 ft) at any focal length
  • Self-timer: Yes (10 sec)
  • DX coding: ISO 25–3200
  • Power: One CR123A battery
  • Other quirks: Panorama switch (crops top/bottom for wide prints), remote control compatible (with optional Pentax remote), date/time imprint option on some versions

Is this the next upcoming Pentax film camera: Pentax ESPIO 140?
