📷 Pentax K1000 Manual Focus SLR Film Camera Bundle with 50mm Pentax Lens Review

I was very excited about this camera. It's here honey! Then I noticed that it came without a lens cap. Alright, let it slide. Then. I see a "Status Notice" on the receipt that says "Light Meter Not Working". Serious? $130 for a camera with a non-working light meter and that information isn't given to me when I buy it? Foot

My daughter is 15 and needed a camera for her college photography class. We could have rented it from the school for $110, but that didn't make sense to me. It made more sense to just buy it. The price was right and very affordable and the delivery was very fast. What I didn't like was the dirty strap. It was disgusting, I washed it in hot water but it didn't help. Also, I disinfected the camera and it was a bit dirty. I definitely recommend sending clean cameras. I understand that they are…

Appears to be working. I initially thought the camera was defective due to user error. It's been a long time since I've made a film! Because of this bug, I've looked around at local camera shops and I think it's important to emphasize how difficult it is to find a shop that sells film cameras and repairs film cameras. This may depend on your location. It's worth the extra money to get one of these cameras in perfect condition, otherwise you're paying for it. Don't let that stop you from making…

Dedicated to photography, this is the best choice for beginners and veteran practitioners. Once you get past the basics of camerawork, I think this will be the easiest to use. I bought it for class n, compared to my classmates, I had much fewer problems with the camera compared to their automatics. Everyone had problems with the automatic setup not working properly. The closest I had to a problem with this camera was simply not knowing how to use it. Once you know this is an "old trust" camera…

The camera came as described, used but cosmetically in good condition. The original list and "checklist" that came with the camera stated that the camera was in good condition and had taken test shots. But after I took it out and examined it, the camera mirror got stuck in the up position. After pressing the trigger a couple of times it went down again, but the next time it just stayed locked. Obviously this makes the camera pretty much useless as you can't see through the viewfinder. I think…

I've had this wonderful camera for over a year and a half and couldn't get enough of it. I bought it on a whim because I wanted to start photography as a new hobby and now I'm addicted to it. This is probably the best DSLR for beginners and what better place to start with a film camera. Very easy to use and I could feel it after a few short weeks of shooting with it. The picture quality is fantastic and better than using a point and shoot camera in my opinion as you really have to take your…

I bought this camera for my freshman year and it is one of the best cameras I have ever owned. I had to have it and it seemed like the best brand I was constantly pointed to was the good old Pentax K-1000. I've searched the internet for a few of them but I couldn't find any that were in stock or that cheap. I had no intention of shopping on Craig's List, my professor strongly advised against it, and I have never used the site. I was uncomfortable looking at the ads because I didn't know the…
