Pentax K1000
Aug 12, 2017 17:09:42 #
I have a Pentax K1000 with a standard fixed 55mm lens plus a 100-200 Vivitar zoom with a matched 2x multiplier. I have no need for the camera but hate just throw it away. Does anyone want it or know someone who might? I'll even pay the shipping within the US.

I'll take it.
PM me.
Or you could sell it on ebay. I've paid 75.00 for a K1000 in good shape.

I used to see them available on auction sites. Since I am a Nikon guy, I mostly bid on those cameras: FEs, FMs, FM2s, F1s, F2s, etc.... Having owned a K1000, I bid on a few, but was always outbid. I wasn't willing to hold above $75 for the body + 50mm lens.
I currently own 3 FGs, an FG20, and an FM2, my favorite. The FG20 is new, original box, and I'm replacing the seals.

The K-1000 is what DSLR should be.. all adjustable things at your finger tips.

I might be interested. See my PM.
OK, I bought it on eBay. Hope it is actually a Japanese made/assembled one (body that is). Looks like it from your photo but I can't really read it. Do let me know or we may have a problem.
The wife is gonna kill me. May have to sell off some other unused today camera stuff myself due to this.

Just the other day at a local brewpub we ran into a kid (20-something, I guess) with a genuine K-1000, fixed 'standard' lens. I took the group's picture and it was fun not having auto-focus and having to actually make adjustments based on a light meter! Point is, film is back (to some extent), retro cameras have some value and a conversation with the folks at the local camera shop confirms: they are developing more and more film all the time. Find a buyer (or a good donation point - camera club, community college photo class, like that). Makes me wish I hadn't sold my old Minolta gear so cheap at a yard sale several years back...
