2023年4月12日 · The original K1000 was basically a KM without depth of field preview and self-timer. The K1000 became very successful and was produced from 1976 to 1997. The top and bottom plates were changed from metal to plastic in the final production run. In 1997, the ZX-M replaced the K1000 as Pentax's intro-level manual offering.

2012年12月16日 · The iconic K1000 (Fig. 1) was a simple and ruggedly built 35 mm film camera manufactured by Asahi Optical Co. Ltd from 1976 to 1997. A mechanical camera with almost all metal construction, the K1000 can't help but exude a …

2014年1月3日 · I prefer Ken Rockwell's review of the K1000 (Pentax K1000 (1976-1997)) stating, "the K1000 is an extraordinary camera that forces you to think about your picture instead of your camera." As a none eyeglass wearer, I like the vastness of the MX's viewfinder.

2009年9月5日 · I inherited a Pentax K1000 along with a 50mm, Takumar-a zoom70-200mm, and a prospec 52mm f=135mm. I dont know what any of these lenses mean and would like to get a wide angle lens. I also own a Canon 30D DSLR, with a 10-22mm wide angle lens and love it!

2010年12月9日 · The Pentax K1000 is one of the best known Pentax SLR's from the 70's and was in production for 20 years. It's got a solidly built body and feels good to hol and has a shutter that looks a lot like the one in my Spotmatic (made from rubberised silk). The viewfinder is quite bright and easy to see through.

2020年11月3日 · K1000's were assembled in both Japan & Hong Kong during both of these periods. There would be no duplicate serial numbers used in both production periods. There is random blocks of serial numbers with the 78XXXXX prefix in both periods.

2002年11月4日 · camera shop has a Pentax KM with some lenses it's selling as a "students" package. Up until I saw it in the window I'd never heard. of it. The shop owner said it's basically just a k1000 with DOF preview. So, I'm just wondering if anyone know's any great difference between. the two bodies, and whether it's worth waiting for a good k1000 to ...

2008年10月16日 · I would choose the K1000 mainly because it is a manual exposure only camera. This will force you to always think about the interrelationship of shutter speed and aperture. My wife learned photography with a K1000 and has continued to use hers for 25 years. IMO it is near perfect for learning the fundamentals of photography.

2009年12月8日 · The later models like the cheapie SRT 100b they made for Sears which were stripped down versions of the 101 rather like the K1000 was from the KM/KX might have replaced bits with plastic. If you really want metal and tank like construction check out the Canon FTb, it weighs a ton and I would serioulsy doubt there is any plastic in it at all.

2022年10月6日 · This camera was quite affordable, and was widely mass-produced. Despite those facts, the K1000 is a very well-built and an incredibly solid unit, with many copies still operating as expected on the second-hand market. Because of the ready availability and basic features of the K1000, many beginner film photographers will start with the K1000.
