It's a fantastic camera to learn photographic skills because entirely manual.
Bad Points
It is heavy to carry round neck, which gets to be more of a problem as you age!
General Comments
I have had my Pentax K1000 since 1977 and it has never let me down. Picture quality is superb, especially close-ups, and I haven't yet found a digital camera at a comparable price to match it. It has been up mountains, in the desert, on the beach, on safari, been bounced and jolted - tough as old boots.
