Pentax K1000 35mm SLR + 50mm f/2 Lens

The Pentax K1000 is a beloved workhorse of the 35mm film era—praised by students, teachers, and purists alike for its fully manual controls, rugged mechanical design, and timeless reliability. Paired here with the SMC Pentax 50mm f/2 lens, this setup offers everything you need to learn (or return to) the fundamentals of photography: aperture, shutter speed, and focus—all without getting lost in menus or automation.

The K1000’s bright viewfinder, solid build, and mechanical shutter (which doesn’t require batteries to fire at all speeds) make it a top choice for long-term use. The 50mm lens is sharp, compact, and great for everyday photography—from portraits to street shooting.

Condition: Excellent

This K1000 + 50mm f/2 kit is in excellent condition. The camera shows minimal signs of wear, with clean top and bottom plates, responsive dials, and a clear viewfinder. The lens is clean and clear, with smooth focus and aperture rings, and no haze, fungus, or scratches. Light meter responds accurately with a battery installed, and the shutter speeds sound correct across the range.

A fantastic choice for beginners or collectors looking for a well-preserved example of this iconic SLR.
