Asahi Pentax K1000 35mm SLR Camera & Pentax SMC 50mm f/2 Lens - Good Used

Asahi Pentax K1000 - Dependable Mechanical 35mm SLR Classic
This listing is for an authentic Asahi Pentax K1000 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) film camera in Good Used Condition, complete with a sharp SMC Pentax 50mm f/2 standard prime lens. Universally recognized as the quintessential student and enthusiast film camera, the K1000 is renowned for its rugged all-metal construction, intuitive manual exposure layout, and rock-solid mechanical reliability.
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 crisp SMC Pentax 50mm f/2 prime lens—celebrated for its optical coatings, rich contrast, and color fidelity—this outfit is a classic workhorse for analog shooting.
