Are you referring to the 24-90mm/3.5-4.5 AL(IF)? If it is, it was made 2001-2004. I found the info on Bojidar Dimitrov's website.
Have a look:

Oops, sorry.
I did not pay attention
It is obviously not the same lens if it is at least 18years old.
But you will probably find it on his website, anyway.

Isn't he referring to a camera?

It won't be on the Boz website because it is not a K-mount SLR.

I happen to have one of these in the original box with paperwork; the date on the rear of the manual says: Copyright Asahi Optical Co., Ltd 1989

So I reckon that makes the Zoom 90 twenty years old.

These cameras had an amazing specification for their time.

Not far off George! Still, every camera needs a spares body as back up doesn't it? That's what I keep telling myself anyway...
