Asahi Pentax K1000 - The Legendary Workhorse SLR
This listing is for the Asahi Pentax K1000, widely regarded as the most reliable manual film camera ever built. Known for its "tank-like" construction and simple, purely mechanical operation, it is the quintessential tool for students and film enthusiasts alike.
This camera comes paired with the SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 lens, a compact "pancake-style" prime lens that is famous for its sharpness, natural color rendition, and durable build quality.
Key Features & Specifications
• Type: Fully Mechanical 35mm Single-Lens Reflex (SLR).
• Operation: Works at all shutter speeds without a battery; the battery is only required for the light meter.
• Shutter Speeds: 1s to 1/1000s plus Bulb.
• Lens Mount: Pentax K-Mount (compatible with a vast array of vintage and modern K-mount lenses).
• Lens: SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 — A lightweight, high-performance standard lens.
• Build: Rugged metal construction designed to last for decades.
Condition: Good Used Condition
This camera set is in solid working order but shows signs of its history and honest use.
• Body Cosmetics: Good used condition. There is visible damage to the baseplate (scuffs/dings), though this is purely cosmetic and does not affect the camera's ability to take photos or stand level.
• Functionality: Fully functional. The shutter fires correctly at all speeds, and the film advance is crisp.
• Light Meter: The internal match-needle meter has been tested and is responsive.
• Optics: The 50mm lens glass is in good shape—clear with no significant fungus or deep scratches. Minor internal dust may be present, which is typical for vintage optics and does not impact image quality.
• Mechanics: The lens focus ring is smooth, and the aperture blades are clean and dry.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This listing includes the Asahi Pentax K1000 Body and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2 Lens.
• Baseplate Note: Please refer to the photos to see the cosmetic wear on the bottom of the camera.
• Battery: The light meter requires one LR44 battery (not included).
• Legacy: The K1000 is famous for its durability; even with cosmetic wear, these cameras are built to continue performing for years to come.
