Pentax K1000 35mm SLR film camera with 28mm f2.8 lens
Description:
The K1000 has one of the most honest reputations in all of film photography. For over two decades it was the camera recommended by photography teachers and film schools around the world, precisely because it strips everything back to what matters. No automatic modes, no unnecessary controls, just aperture, shutter speed, focus, and a needle in the viewfinder telling you whether the exposure is correct. The fully mechanical shutter works with or without a battery, and the 28mm f2.8 SMC Pentax lens is a sharp, compact wide angle ideal for street photography, travel, and architecture. A camera that genuinely teaches you how to shoot.
Specs:
- Type: Fully mechanical
- Maximum Shutter Speed: 1/1000s
- Lens: Pentax K mount, 28mm f2.8 SMC Pentax
- Modes: Full manual only
Battery: 1x LR44 for the light meter (included)
Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
