Description
Produced between 1990 and 1997 by Asahi Optical Corp (Japan), the Pentax P30T is a sturdy yet lightweight 35mm SLR that combines ease of use with manual creative control. Designed for photographers who appreciate a fully manual experience, it also offers aperture priority auto-exposure for moments when you want to shoot with minimal adjustments.
The camera features a Pentax K-mount, making it compatible with a wide range of lenses, and comes equipped with the Pentax-A Zoom 28-80mm f/3.5-4.5, a versatile lens that covers wide-angle to short telephoto shots. Thanks to its ‘A’ setting, you can also let the camera handle aperture adjustments when needed.
With an electronic focal plane shutter, the P30T offers speeds ranging from 1 second to 1/1000s, plus Bulb mode for long exposures. The center-weighted TTL CdS meter ensures accurate exposure readings, while the bright viewfinder with LED shutter speed readouts makes manual adjustments intuitive and precise.
Other useful features include DX-coded film detection (ISO 25-1600), allowing the camera to automatically set the film speed, and a depth of field preview button, which helps you visualize focus before taking the shot. The single-stroke film advance lever keeps shooting smooth, while the hot shoe mount supports external flashes for low-light situations. Additionally, the camera has a built-in self-timer for group shots or creative long exposures.
Condition: This camera is in good condition, with minor signs of wear that do not impact its functionality. It comes with the original strap, making it a great option for those who want a reliable, manual-focus SLR with a classic design and solid build.
