General Comments

The Pentax K1000 is a wonderful second 35mm SLR camera for any professional, and a good camera for an amateur. It is relatively durable, and easy to use. I would not recommend this camera to anyone who likes all the bells and whistles, seeing that it is a bare bones camera. As for those who like a back to the basic camera, the Pentax K1000 is a very good choice.

PENTAX K1000
In 1997 production was stopped. Function of this K1000 is almost completely carried over from SPF in S series and KM in K series. ... Shutter sound is large and that is same as old Pentax.
