Pentax IQ Zoom 90MC Review

WARNING: You may have already seen this video! (Well,sort of). I took the original down because of audio problems. Audio is not super on this edit either, but I didn't want the photo montage to permanently disappear from the channel.

Such restraint and integrity to not make a "is that a lens in your pocket or are you just happy to see me" joke with a lens like that lol-- you're a stronger man than I am lol (also yay knoptop mention lol)

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! Good reminder of the people that helped us to have our freedoms so that we don't have to fight in world wars or a major conflict!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Sina - Totally agree

[@thevoiceman6192]

I love these cameras. I have 3 of them. I also have Samsung Evocas. The 2 point and schoot cameras I will not get rid of. Exposure is super accurate and they both have bulb settings.

[@joemihaly]

Super epic!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks!

I just found a Pentax IQZoom 140 M in a box of Konica cameras and lenses I won at a local auction. It cleaned up nice and even has the instruction booklet. Your video has inspired me to load it up and Shoot some film.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Excellent!

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

Some fantastic shots and fantastic memorials, Dave. The little Pentax did well although I can imagine how self conscious you were with the noise of the zoom motor. I picked up a Samsung of a similar vintage and couldn't believe how loud it was.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Andy - Yeah, these are definitely not very stealthy cameras.

[@AlexLuyckxPhoto]

Those IQZoom/Espio cameras from Pentax were pretty good, I always found the lens was best at the wide end. Great stuff, I love the stuff around Washington DC, especially the war memorials.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - I agree on the wide end holding up better

[@pcs9518]

I used to have one of these for a point and shoot alongside my Pentax K1000 when I was a teenager. It was a good camera but now I just have the K1000 and a few Nikon DSLR bodies.

[@cdl0]

Looks good; I like it! Presumably the panoramic mode is simply a mask over the frame(?)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yep, simple mask

[@cdl0]

@@theoldcameraguy Thanks for the confirmation!

[@matteoturrina4317]

Hi, i saw one of your videos about the pentax espio 90mc. In the view finder there are 2 option for shooting, one wide and one normal. My question is, how can i shoot in the wide aspcet ratio? Do i need a particular film or i can jump beetween mode on the same normal film?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Same film, just use the panorama switch

[@matteoturrina4317]

Thank you!

[@theoldcameraguy]

@matteoturrina4317 No problem
