Classic film camera, this particular Pentax K1000 in a clean, fully functional shape. Camera of choice for a photography student or collector. This particular camera is a rare early production model (ca 1977), with a serial number on top. K1000's were only produced in Japan in 1975-77, after that all production shifted to Hong Kong, and later China (with significant drop in quality). As such, units made early in the production cycle are rare and highly collectable.

FUNCTION

Shutter, meter and film transport work properly. Meter accuracy was not verified with film. Light seals (including internal, around the prism) and mirror guard have just been replaced ($25 value) .
 

COSMETICS

Excellent. No major scratches or dents anywhere. Minor brassing on the film door frame. Clean and sharp lettering on the shutter speed dial. Focusing screen and viewfinder are dust-free. Original leatherette was replaced with genuine pigskin leather embossed in Brown Alligator pattern.
