Good Points

First of all, I like a manual camera, so this one was perfect. Let alone the user, the camera takes great photos. I couldn't be more pleased, except for the absence of a motor drive.


Bad Points

None.


General Comments

The only problem I've had with my Pentax K1000 was the TTL light meter quit working after several years of use, and the camera bag, ofcourse containing the Pentax somehow slipped under the air seat in my truck, and the steel scissoring arms that allow the seat to bounce up & down nailed it. Hit the prizm housing and dented it . It never had a light leak and at that point, the meter still worked. I finally got the meter repaired a few years back & the camera works like new. The repair facility, located in Brockton, MA, also fixed the dent in the housing without even being ask to. And for the same quoted price! Awesome!
