The queen of plastic beauties! Amazing camera, with high quality lenses. The shutter is like no other, the viewfinder puts to shame many modern digital SLRs, it is BIG, I mean BIG and BRIGHT! All this in a camera no bigger than a cell phone. From an era when money was no problem, engineering came first. Those were the days...This is the second version of the Auto 110, the Super. New features included a brighter viewfinder with micro-prisms, self-timer and back-light exposure button. The double stroke lever advance (à la Leica) gave place to a single stroke one.
To my eyes this is one of the most intriguing cameras ever made. Why would anyone bother producing a 110 SLR, better still, creating a photographic system for a film that was going no where? It was clear by 1978, the year of birth of our little star, that the 110 film was a dead end, why did Pentax create such a jewel that could never make the company any money, it defeats reasoning.

Another 110 model among the zillion plastic crap cameras made during almost 30 years? Well, not exactly, this was the top of the range 110 Agfamatic line-up. See that dial on the top? It is not a rev counter, but a neat needle distance indicator, some 20 years before the Nikon 35ti. The camera can focus as close as 25 cm with the auxiliary lens or 50 cm with the high performance Solinar S 2,7 lens. Shutter speeds from 15 sec (yes seconds!) to 1/1000th. Self-timer, cable release, last and the best, a really nice viewfinder with AUTOMATIC parallax correction and needle indication for focusing ikons.
The big question is why did they do such a camera? Was there a market for a high quality 110 model that looked so ordinary? I guess not, but it is a shame that 110 is not available anymore, this little camera seems capable of producing original and decent results.
