Asahi Pentax K1000 - Classic Mechanical 35mm SLR with Fast SMC 50mm f/1.7
This listing is for an authentic Asahi Pentax K1000 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) film camera in Good Used Condition, paired with a sharp, fast SMC Pentax 50mm f/1.7 standard prime lens. Renowned worldwide as the classic student and enthusiast SLR, the K1000 combines rugged all-metal mechanical construction with straightforward manual control.
Powered by a single LR44 / SR44 1.5V button cell battery solely to operate its internal TTL match-needle light meter, the K1000 features a fully mechanical focal-plane shutter that fires dependably across all speeds from 1s to 1/1000s without requiring battery power. Coupled with the fast SMC Pentax 50mm f/1.7 lens—celebrated for its multi-coated glass, outstanding sharpness, and excellent low-light performance—this outfit is a dependable setup for film photography.
