Yashica's 1995 pocket zoom — 35-70mm f/4.5-8.3, infrared AF, DX 50-3200, CR123A power.

The Yashica Microtec Zoom 70 was a compact 35mm zoom point-and-shoot from Kyocera, first shown at the 1994 PMA show and released in 1995 alongside the slightly larger Microtec Zoom 90. A date-back version was sold as the Yashica MicroElite Zoom 70, and a panorama-equipped variant appeared as the Kyocera Lynx 70.

It carries a 35-70mm power zoom of 8 elements in 7 groups with a maximum aperture of f/4.5-8.3, focused by an active infrared autofocus system down to 60cm. Exposure is automatic with centre-weighted metering and shutter speeds from 2s to 1/333, film speed is set by DX coding across ISO 50-3200, and the camera runs on a single CR123A lithium battery in a body of roughly 224g.

Contemporary testing rated its optics well for the class, with the Zoom 70 slightly outperforming its Zoom 90 stablemate, and its small footprint makes it an easy pocket companion for street and travel shooting. The slow tele end means flash or fast film indoors, but at 35mm the camera performs like a competent mid-1990s compact should.

Check that the camera wakes and zooms on a fresh CR123A, that the clamshell-era plastics are free of cracks, and that the flash charges promptly. Run the zoom through its range listening for grinding, confirm the frame counter and motor advance work, and inspect the film door seals. LCD panels on 1990s compacts can fade, so verify the display is legible.
