Classic film camera, Pentax K1000 SE in factory brown leatherette. Fully functional, camera of choice for a photography student or collector. This particular camera is a desirable Special Edition version and comes with a fast SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 prime lens, telephoto zoom and a flash - perfect starter film shooter bundle.

 

FUNCTION

Shutter and film transport work properly. Meter responds to light, lens aperture and shutter speed settings, but accuracy was not verified with film. Light seals and mirror guard have just been replaced ($25 value) .
 

COSMETICS

Very good. No major scratches or dents anywhere. Minor brassing on the painted areas of the film door and viewfinder frame and scuffs on the bottom from normal use. There is a small dent on the top corner of the prism cover and one corner of the bottom cover. Clean and sharp lettering on the shutter speed dial. Focusing screen and viewfinder are pristine. Original brown leatherette is very good condition.
