Pentax shop K1000 35mm Film Camera

Product Name: Pentax shop K1000 35mm Film Camera
Art school camera used in 1990s. Very clean and shop excellent condition. Pentax kept things simple with the K1000, with it featuring a completely mechanical shutter mechanism. This meant that you could happily fire the shutter without any batteries (just like the Nikon FM2(opens in new tab) that was released in 1982), with the K1000 only requiring a couple of SR or LR44 batteries to power the metering system. Speaking of metering, the K1000 uses a full-scene averaging method to obtain an exposure. It's worth noting though that the K1000's meter does not automatically switch off - to avoid draining the battery unnecessarily, you'll need to pop the lens cap back on first.
