Pentax Auto 110 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not compatible with current DSLRs, afaik there are no adapters either.

I don't have stats on it, but I know it's lens from Pentax Auto 110 mini SLR. They were using 110 film rolls as opposed to 35mm classic film. Point was to make miniature SLR. Extremely portable but keeping the capability of changing lenses.
Anyway, there is couple of pentax lenses and I think 1 or 2 flashes to go with these, but unfortunately they can't be used on any other Pentax camera.

Maybe a base for a digital Pentax alternative to the 4/3 models...
