Pentax Zoom70-R 35mm film camera (serial 2617155)

The Pentax Zoom 70-R is a high quality 35mm point-and-shoot from the early 1990s. It features a sharp 35-70mm zoom lens. It's a very easy to use camera in its basic functionality but also offers a number of advanced features (eg multiple exposures, bulb plus flash, macro focusing) for people who want to go deep. Battery information The camera requires two CR123 lithium batteries for power (optional). The manual estimates a battery life of 30 rolls of 24-exposure film, assuming the flash is used for half of photos. Condition notes The camera's functions were tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed). All modes are working correctly. We also confirmed the camera's film plane focus accuracy. The camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos). Example photos Here are some photos that other people have taken with this model of camera (note this is the Zoom 70-X which is identical except that it lacks a few advanced shooting modes in featured in the Zoom 70-R): https://www.lomography.com/cameras/3357312-pentax-zoom-70x/photos Manual https://www.cameramanuals.org/pentax_p&s/pentax_p&s_zoom70-r.pdf Specifications Type: 35 mm fully automatic leaf-shutter camera with built-in zoom lens and auto flash.
