Detailed Description

Introduced in 1976, the Pentax K1000 is a manual-focus 35mm SLR using the Pentax K bayonet lens mount. Shutter speed, aperture, focus, film advance and rewind are manually controlled.

The camera uses a mechanically controlled horizontal-travel focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 second through 1/1000 second plus Bulb. The shutter does not require battery power. The battery powers the camera's built-in through-the-lens exposure meter.

Exposure is indicated through a match-needle display in the viewfinder. The photographer sets exposure by adjusting shutter speed and lens aperture until the meter needle indicates the appropriate exposure.

This example is fitted with an SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 standard lens. The compact manual-focus lens uses the Pentax K mount and accepts 49mm filters.

This camera and lens have been tested and are fully functional.
