Pentax · Japan · 1996–1998 (2 years) · 135 film

The Pentax ZX 5 is a 35mm autofocus SLR camera produced by Pentax from 1996 to 1998. As an entry-level model in Pentax's consumer lineup during the late film era, it likely featured standard automated exposure modes, a built-in motor drive for film transport, and compatibility with Pentax's extensive K-mount lens system. The camera represents the utilitarian end of Pentax's offerings of this period, designed for amateur photographers seeking an affordable entry into 35mm photography without the advanced features or higher price points of professional models.
