Pentax K1000 35mm SLR + SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/2.0 Lens

The Pentax K1000 is one of the most iconic 35mm SLRs ever made—a rugged, fully mechanical camera that became a staple of photography classrooms and a favorite among film purists. This kit includes the SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/2.0, giving you full compatibility with aperture-priority and program modes on later Pentax bodies, while still maintaining classic manual focus control and timeless rendering.

With its simple layout, clear viewfinder, and rock-solid shutter, the K1000 is an ideal choice for beginners or anyone looking to reconnect with the fundamentals of film photography. This particular copy has been cleaned and calibrated for reliable performance—ready for many more rolls.
