description Pentax K1000 Overview

The Pentax K1000 is the ultimate 'no-frills' mechanical SLR. It was the standard-issue camera for photography students for decades because it is virtually indestructible and teaches the user exactly how exposure works. With no complex electronics to fail, it relies on a simple needle-based light meter and a fully mechanical shutter. Its K-mount lens system is one of the most versatile in history, allowing you to use everything from vintage manual focus glass to modern autofocus lenses.

It is the perfect tool for those who want to master the craft.
