I couldn't find a thread on the UC-1. It's my favorite P&S film camera and I've had one since they first came out in the 90's. Great viewfinder, great lens, small and quiet.

There have been a number of threads regarding the smallest ever Pentax 35mm camera.
Try the forum search using terms espio mini.
It's the same camera with black finish, sold in non-US markets.

Ah yes. Espio Mini... should have known.

I've just gotten a UC-1 myself...plan to have the film done for it tonight. Saw the ebay prices...~150 for a good one. Mine was only $5 at Goodwill

That's quite the $5 score I'd say. Well done. I'm sure you'll love the pics. It has one of the best viewfinders of a camera its size and the lens is as good as the Stylus Infinity and Nikon AF600.

The pics were, if not the magic I expected, at least decent. I'm undecided. The UC-1 is sitting on my desk right now with Arista Premium 400 in it.
