Pentax K2 35mm SLR film camera with 50mm f1.4 lens
Description:
We like the K2 for being the camera that launched Pentax's K-mount era in style. Introduced in 1975 as the flagship of a new generation of Pentax SLRs, it sits a step above the simpler KM and KX by adding aperture priority automatic exposure, a feature that was genuinely advanced for its time. In aperture priority mode you set the aperture you want and the camera selects the correct shutter speed between 1/1000s and 8 seconds, making it easy to control depth of field without having to think about exposure. Full manual control is also there for those who want it. The shutter speeds from 1/125s to 1/1000s work mechanically even without a battery, which is a reassuring safety net. Paired with the 50mm f1.4 SMC Pentax lens, which is one of the sharpest and most characterful standard lenses Pentax ever made, this is a very capable and enjoyable combination for anyone learning film photography or shooting everyday life with a camera that rewards attention and skill.
