The Pentax Zoom 105-R is one of the best zoom point-and-shoot 35mm film cameras of the early 90s. It's a very advanced camera with a large number of features that are handy for creative photography, including interval shooting; multiple exposure; and bulb modes. 

This is an excellent camera with a superb lens and we'd recommend it to nearly anyone looking for a film point-and-shoot with a zoom lens with only one caution: it's a larger and heavier camera than average (see specs). The Zoom 105-R requires two CR123A lithium batteries (optional).

Condition notes

The camera's functions were tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed) and all modes are working correctly. We also verified that the camera's autofocus and autoexposure are working with very good accuracy. The camera and included case are in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
