The choice to make this camera chrome over plastic pretty much ensured that it would look worn even when it isn&#8217;t.  I&#8217;m sure they were not expecting it to wear like that or that someone would be writing about it 25 years later.  At the same time they were plating the plastic on the Espio Mini they released a titanium version of the Pentax LX which I&#8217;m pretty sure has stood up better.  The UC1 (Espio Mini) is a fully automatic camera but focuses and exposes reliably so is easy to like.  Happy Birthday Pentax thanks for some great cameras over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li
