Introduced in November 1991, the Pentax IQZoom 90-WR is a vintage 35mm autofocus point-and-shoot film camera featuring a 38–90mm power zoom lens, built-in flash, and weather-resistant construction. Recognized as the world's first water-resistant compact zoom camera, the 90-WR was designed to offer greater versatility and protection from the elements than conventional point-and-shoot cameras of its era.
Part of Pentax's popular IQZoom series, this Japanese-made camera combines fully automatic operation with a range of shooting features, including multi-beam autofocus, macro focusing, multiple flash modes, and infrared remote-control capability.
Its 38–90mm zoom lens provides flexibility for everything from everyday snapshots and portraits to travel photography, while automatic film loading, advancing, and rewinding make it accessible to beginners and experienced film photographers alike.
