Equipment Type: SLR
Equipment Brand: Pentax
Equipment Model: K1000, the best selling SLR ever
Price (S$): 120
Description:
Selling my K1000 from my personal collection. I have two K1000, one is made and assembled in Japan version, the other one is made in Japan assembled in Hongkong version. Both are superior in build quality than the version made and assembled in China. I will only sell one of them, and keep the other one.
The viewfinder is very clean, the meter works well, shutter is accurate, body is clean. I would not rate it as mint, but an above average body.
"The Pentax K1000 is one of photography's greatest, most popular and longest-lived cameras. The Pentax K1000 is simple. It does exactly what it needs to do, and nothing more." - Ken Rockwell
"If 35mm SLRs were cars, the Pentax K1000 would be a Volkswagen Beetle--a simple, practical, economical, lovable classic--unpretentious but with its own distinctive character." - Jason Schneider
"I felt like I was in a 70s high school classroom. I banged the crap out of that camera." - Drew Barrymore
