Pentax K1000 35mm SLR Camera

The Pentax K1000 is a classic camera with over 3 million produced between 1976 and 1997.

It was a simple and inexpensive 35mm single lens reflex camera (SLR) with only a few controls; aperture, shutter speed, ISO and focus and is completely mechanical except for the built-in light meter. These qualities make it an excellent starter camera and it was recommended by many photography teachers.

These vintage cameras are supplied by CatLABS and come with a Pentax 50mm F2.0 lens, fresh battery and a CatLABS X320 B&W 35mm film..

Please note the light meter is always on when the lens cap is off so leave it on when not in use to avoid draining the battery.
