The Asahi Pentax KM is a classic mechanical 35mm SLR, known for its durability, reliable performance, and fully manual control with match-needle metering. Often considered a close sibling to the legendary K1000, the KM adds a self-timer and depth-of-field preview. Paired with the sharp SMC Pentax 50mm f/2 lens, this is a versatile setup ideal for portraits, street photography, and learning the fundamentals of film.
This example is in near mint condition, with only very light signs of use and excellent mechanical performance. There is a small dent near the shutter speed selector, purely cosmetic and not affecting function.
