The Pentax Espio 928M has for me a very desirable focal length of 28-90mm which makes it directly comparable to the Canon Z90W <\/a>which I also have.\u00a0 The Pentax has the slightly\u00a0slower lens at f4.8-10.9 verses the Canon at f4.5-9.9 either way if you choose to use one of these anachronisms your going to want to use a film of at least ISO400.\u00a0 It should be mentioned that the 928M is not the same camera as the 928 as the lens is slower and it does away with some great features like exposure compensation and multi-exposure mode.\u00a0 So if it were not for the fact that it has a wide angle of 28mm I wouldn’t have even bothered to pick it up.\u00a0 The thing is despite it’s short comings in the end it’s the lens in front of the film that maters and the lens performed quite well actually.\u00a0 Even the corners of the frame are reasonably distortion free when compared to other similar cameras.\u00a0 So with good light and fast film the Espio 928M is almost a camera worth using but really if your still shooting film at this point there are going to be better options.\u00a0 P.S. the Konica Lexio 70 is not one of them trust me.<\/p>\n
