(You also set the film speed when you load it.) Unlike the "automated" digital nonsense with which too many people burden themselves, the K1000 has only three shooting controls: aperture, shutter speed and focus. It is completely mechanical and needs no battery to run, except for one tiny 20¢ A76 cell to run its light meter. While DSLR shooters are standing there cursing at their cameras when they can't figure out why it won't take the picture when they press the shutter, the K1000 just keeps shooting. All the irrelevant foolishness that chokes fancier cameras, and especially digital cameras, never gets in the way of a great picture with the K1000. It does exactly what it needs to do, and nothing more.Įxactly like Apple, simplicity is the K1000's greatest strength. The Pentax K1000 is one of photography's greatest, most popular and longest-lived cameras. I use Adorama, Amazon, eBay, Ritz, B&H, Calumet, J&R and ScanCafe.
