Pentax UC-1 (Espio Mini)

PentaxEspioMini-2038

The Espio mini is such a fun little camera.  It may not have as fast a lens as the Olympus Stylus Epic with its f2.8  but the Pentax is 32mm rather than 35mm which makes enough of a difference to be noticeable.  It’s a nice compromise between a 28mm and a 35mm lens.  Previously I wrote about how my UC-1 had failed but since then I have found a replacement and am very pleased with it.  Being a clam shell design it’s easy to carry around and open up when needed and is small enough to slip into a coat pocket.
