Pentax zoom 105-r iqzoom 35mm film camera 38-105mm super macro -tested working

F2 The Pentax Zoom 105-R, also marketed as the Pentax IQZoom 105-R, is a highly capable 35mm point-and-shoot film camera from the early 1990s. It was one of Pentax’s more advanced compact models of the period, combining a powerful zoom range with a surprisingly large number of creative features. One thing worth mentioning is that this camera is larger than the typical small point-and-shoot compact. Its body is noticeably more substantial because of the advanced zoom mechanism, large LCD control panel, and extra electronic functions. In return, it offers a level of control and versatility that many smaller compact cameras simply do not have. The camera features a 38–105mm zoom lens, giving you a very useful range for everyday photography, travel, portraits, street scenes, and more distant subjects. It also includes a dedicated Super Macro mode, allowing close focusing down to approximately 0.45m, which is impressive for a compact zoom camera of this era. The Zoom 105-R also stands out because it offers creative controls that are unusual on most point-and-shoots, including multiple exposure, interval shooting, Bulb mode for long exposures, and both continuous zoom and step zoom. Step zoom allows the lens to move directly between preset focal lengths such as 38mm, 46mm, 55mm, 70mm, 85mm, and 105mm. It also uses an active autofocus system and automatic exposure metering, together with built-in flash functions for easy everyday shooting. Condition: The camera is in excellent overall condition and looks very well preserved. It has been fully tested and is working great. The zoom, autofocus, shutter, flash, LCD display, film advance and rewind, controls, and electronic functions have all been checked and are operating correctly. The camera takes 1 × 2CR5 lithium battery, which is not included. Overall, this is a very interesting Pentax compact for anyone looking for something more advanced than a basic point-and-shoot. Its larger body, 38–105mm zoom, macro capability, and extensive shooting modes make it feel more like a compact electronic camera system than a simple snapshot camera.
