Asahi Pentax K2 Black 35mm SLR Camera & 50mm f/1.7 Lens + Case - Rare -Near Mint

Asahi Pentax K2 Black - Rare Flagship Masterpiece of the K-Series
This listing is for a beautiful, collector-grade Asahi Pentax K2 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) film camera finished in rare factory Black, complete with its original vintage protective case and a sharp SMC Pentax 50mm f/1.7 prime lens. As the premium, top-of-the-line flagship model introduced alongside the original K-mount lineup, the K2 in its sleek black finish is significantly harder to find than the standard chrome variant, making it a highly sought-after prize for Pentax collectors.
Built with an ultra-rugged vertical-travel metal shutter capability reaching up to 1/1000s, the K2 features aperture-priority auto-exposure with seamless manual override. Coupled with Pentax’s famous SMC 50mm f/1.7 lens—celebrated for its superb multi-coating, razor-sharp optical clarity, and beautiful background bokeh—this rare flagship setup provides a luxurious, professional-grade shooting experience for collectors and analog purists alike.
