## Overview

The Pentax K1000 is a legendary 35mm SLR film camera known for its mechanical simplicity and educational value. With manual exposure control and a lightweight design, it encourages photographers to focus on their craft without the distractions of modern technology.

## Description

The K1000 is an almost-all metal, mechanically (springs, gears, levers) controlled, manual-focus SLR with manual-exposure control. It is completely operable without batteries. Batteries are only required (one A76 or S76, or LR44 or SR44) for the light metering information system. This consists of a centre-the-needle exposure control system using a galvanometer needle pointer moving between vertically arranged +/– over/underexposure markers at the right side of the viewfinder to indicate the readings of the built-in full-scene averaging, cadmium sulfide (CdS)battery light meter versus the actual camera settings. The meter does not have a true on/off switch and the lens cap must be attached to the lens to prevent draining the K1000's battery when it is not in use. The K1000 uses a horizontal travel, rubberized silk cloth focal plane shutter with a speed range of 1/1000 second to 1 second, along with Bulb and a flash X-sync of 1/60 second. It is 91.4 millimetres tall, 143 mm wide, and 48 mm deep, and weighs 620 grams. The body is finished in black leather with chrome trim only, although early production Pentax K1000 SE bodies have brown leather with chrome trim. In 1983, a K1000 with SMC Pentax-M 50 mm f/2 lens listed for $220.

## Features

- The Pentax K1000 35mm SLR is one of photography's greatest, most popular and longest-lived cameras.
- This Pentax film camera is completely mechanical and needs no battery to run, however, you must purchase an A76 cell battery to run the light meter.
- Unlike other SLR and DSLR cameras, the K1000 is simple and has little to no learning curve. There is three shooting controls: aperture, shutter speed and focus. You set the film speed when you load it.
- An extraordinary simple camera that forces you to think about your picture instead of your camera. As a result, it's recommended by most photography teachers, instructors, and professors to be used in their classes.
- The Pentax K1000 is so brilliant that you never need to turn the meter or camera on or off: both are always on for instant picture taking

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service and item.
*by J***N on September 22, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reach out to the company! Amazing customer service!
*by O***E on September 20, 2024*

10/10 experince!My camera came in good condition, but there were some things that weren't working properly. The owner of the company leaves contact information in each of the boxes, so I thought I'd shoot my shot by reaching out before I just tried to return it via Amazon. It is important to remember that these are used cameras from the 70's, so they won't be perfect, but reach out to the company if you have any functional problems with your camera at all! I was very impressed that the owner of the company himself worked with me over a couple of weeks to try and get the camera repaired. He was super kind and understanding the whole time, and made sure that we went with the solution that was best for me. I am very happy with how everything worked out and would highly recommend this company for their price and services, as they will make sure that you are satisfied with your camera! It's a solid deal for a great SLR and with the guarantee of a positive customer experience.I respect what this company is trying to do for its customers and the film community, and I hope to see future success for them as they grow!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and wonderful seller.
