Pentax PC-555 Date 35mm Point & Shoot Film Camera

The Pentax PC-555 Date is a somewhat early, fully automated 35mm point-and-shoot camera that’s perfect for those who love the charm of analog photography with a touch of 1980s tech innovation. What really sets this camera apart is its surprisingly robust build—featuring quality metal components that give it a satisfying heft and a premium feel that’s unexpected for a camera in its class.

A particularly unique feature is its lens cover mechanism, which retracts only when a photo is taken—a quirky and fun design choice that’s sure to be a conversation starter. With its built-in flash, automatic exposure, and compact size, it’s a fantastic option for casual shooters, travel diaries, or anyone wanting to experience the simple joy of point-and-shoot film photography.
