Pentax's compact 38-60mm auto zoom, c.1991 — infrared AF, DX-only film reading, bulb mode; US IQZoom 60-X.

The Pentax Zoom 60-X was a fully automatic 35mm compact zoom made by Pentax around 1991, sold in the US as the IQZoom 60-X — a branding often printed on the box but omitted from the camera body itself. It sat in the Zoom/IQZoom family below the 70- and 90-series models, one step up from the fixed-lens PC compacts, and was also offered in a Date version.

The lens is a 38-60mm zoom of six elements in five groups, f/4.5 at the wide end and f/6.7 at telephoto, focused by infrared autofocus from 0.6m to infinity. Shutter speeds run 1/4 to 1/250 sec with a bulb mode of 1/2 to 8 seconds. Film loading, advance and rewind are motorised, with mid-roll rewind available. It reads DX-coded film from ISO 50 to 1600 — non-coded film cannot be used — and runs on two CR123A batteries. The self-timer offers 10-second, two-shot and zoom-timer modes.

The modest 1.6x zoom keeps the 60-X simpler and slimmer than longer-zoom stablemates, and the unusual bulb mode gives it a party trick most rivals lack. It suits casual shooters and travellers wanting an automatic point-and-shoot with a little framing flexibility; the slow tele end means flash or fast film indoors.

Check both CR123A cells are fresh before judging a dead example, and confirm zoom, motor advance and flash all cycle. Because the camera is DX-only, hand-rolled or unmarked cassettes will not register — a real usability limit. On Date versions the imprint calendar only runs to 2019, so the databack is now effectively decorative. Inspect seals and the battery door catch.
