Pentax Zoom90 35mm camera w/ case (serial 6049111)

The Pentax Zoom90 (aka IQZoom 900) was the company's top-of-the-line 35mm point-and-shoot when it was released in 1989. It features a sharp 38-90mm lens (8 elements in 7 groups) and a wide array of features and shooting modes (see manual linked below). 

Battery information

The Zoom90 requires two CR123A lithium batteries (optional). 

Battery life: According to the manual, a fresh set of batteries should last for 125 24-exposure rolls of film. Pentax didn't provide a battery life estimate if the flash is used but we'd expect it to be much shorter. 

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 the camera's true film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator and tested its autoexposure accuracy on a shutter analyzer .
