The Prego 90 is a compact autofocus camera for 35 mm film, made by Rollei in the mid-1990s. Other than the lens, it is similar in most respects to the Prego Zoom. Whereas that camera has a 35-70 mm zoom lens, however, the Prego 90 has a 28-90 mm zoom. On most examples seen, this is a Rollei-branded Vario-Apogon, as pictured here; however, some of the cameras have a Schneider Variogon of the same zoom range[1] The Schneider lens is an f/3.6 at the wide end of this range, and an f/9.8 at the telephoto end. Either lens has Rollei's HFT coating.
The camera has infra-red autofocus, with an autofocus lock feature, and a button (on the front of the body) to force infinity focus. It focuses down to 0.45 m at the wide end of the zoom range, and 0.57 m at the tele end. There is also a 'snap' mode in which the lens is set to 28 mm, and focus is fixed for depth of field between 1 and 13m (to remove any delay for focusing).
Exposure is fully programmed, but exposure compensation is possible, by up to 3 stops in each direction. The metering range is from EV 11 to 17.6 at ISO 100 at the wide end of the zoom range (EV 13.4 to 17.6 at the tele end). The film speed is set with DX codes from ISO 50 to 3200; if uncoded film is loaded, the meter defaults to ISO 100. The shutter speed is selected automatically in the range 1/3 to 1/400 second in normal use. There is also a 'B' mode, allowing exposures from 1/2 to 60 seconds.
The film is advanced automatically, including advance to the first frame when a new film is loaded. It is rewound automatically at the end of the roll; there is also a facility to rewind the film before the end.
The camera has a small built-in flash, with the usual features for a camera of this type: options for automatic flash activation in low light, forced fill-in flash, flash with an LED red-eye reduction lamp, and to disable the flash, with indicators for each in the LCD.
