Pentax K1000 + 50mm f/2.0 PK Mount Lens

The Pentax K1000 is one of the most beloved and widely recommended 35mm SLR cameras of all time. Known for its simplicity, reliability, and rock-solid construction, it’s the go-to camera for students and anyone learning the basics of manual exposure. With fully mechanical operation (except for the meter), the K1000 is a joy to use and a true classic in the world of film photography.

This kit comes with the standard 50mm f/2.0 PK-mount lens—a sharp, easy-to-use standard lens that’s perfect for everything from street photography to portraits. Known for its classic rendering and solid build, it’s a great companion for this timeless body.

Condition: Good

This K1000 is in good working condition, with all shutter speeds sounding correct and the light meter responding properly (with a modern battery installed, not included). The film advance and rewind operate smoothly. The viewfinder is bright, with some light dust typical for a camera of this age but nothing that affects shooting.

The 50mm f/2.0 lens is clean and clear, with no haze, fungus, or scratches. The focus ring moves smoothly and the aperture blades are oil-free and snappy. Cosmetically, the camera shows signs of use—scuffs and wear consistent with its age—but nothing that affects its functionality.

An affordable and reliable way to get into classic 35mm photography—ready to load and shoot.
