The iconic Pentax K1000 was Pentax's classic intro level film SLR, which gained a very high popularity among photography students due to its rugged build and low price.
The original K1000 was a KM without the depth of field preview and self-timer. The K1000 became very successful and was produced from 1976 to 1997. The top and bottom plates were changed from metal to plastic in the final production run. In 1997, the MZ-M replaced the K1000 as Pentax's entry-level manual offering. The camera comes with a Phenix 50mm f1.7 lens.
Please bear in mind that any of our second-hand K1000 cameras will be at least 20 ( and some nearer to 40) years old. While's nice to own a classic, it might be more prudent to buy a more-recent P30 or ME Super model with more features and reliability?
