Pentax K1000 Manual Focus SLR Film Camera with Pentax 50mm Lens

10/10 experince!My camera came in good condition, but there were some things that weren't working properly. The owner of the company leaves contact information in each of the boxes, so I thought I'd shoot my shot by reaching out before I just tried to return it via Amazon. It is important to remember that these are used cameras from the 70's, so they won't be perfect, but reach out to the company if you have any functional problems with your camera at all! I was very impressed that the owner of the company himself worked with me over a couple of weeks to try and get the camera repaired. He was super kind and understanding the whole time, and made sure that we went with the solution that was best for me. I am very happy with how everything worked out and would highly recommend this company for their price and services, as they will make sure that you are satisfied with your camera! It's a solid deal for a great SLR and with the guarantee of a positive customer experience.I respect what this company is trying to do for its customers and the film community, and I hope to see future success for them as they grow!

Great camera using it for photography class and it has been good so far.

Unfortunately my camera came broken, but the seller walked me through how to fix it. I ran into some difficulties with a stripped screw, and the seller let me send the camera back to them and then fixed it for me before returning it to me. I appreciated the customer service and am excited to start using my camera.

I returned the camera because it was defective, when you look through the viewfinder there was a big black mark so something within was scratched or broken, also it had a made in china tag on the bottom, the Pentax are made in Japan not china so it was a replica not an original Pentax

The camera was a little late to arrive, but this was due to a holiday and the location I live in. It was packaged pretty well and looks like it’s in good condition with only a few scratches on the outside.The camera didn’t come with a lens cover which is disappointing due to the fact that I’ll need a new battery for the camera and need to go find a proper cover. Everything else works fine though.

I have been looking for a camera like this. It works well and looks great

Currently waiting to hear back from Pentax customer support and will update review after.Camera came as expected, looks nice, seems to operate but unable to actually get any photos on film. Using Kodak gold 200, shot indoors, outdoors, different ISO settings etc but unable to get anything that even resembles a photo on the 35mm. Yes the lens cap is off lmao. The mirror and shutter appear to work but still, no photos trying through 2 separate rolls of 35mm.Read previous reviews and saw the seller is helpful so keeping hopes high before attempting to return.

I got this for a Junior College class and it is one of the best cameras I have ever owned. I had to have one and it seemed that the best brand I kept getting pointed to was the good-old Pentax K-1000. I searched the web for some but I could not find one that was in stock or that was any were as cheap. I was not going to do a Craig's List purchase my professor highly advised against it and I have never used that site. I was not comfortable to look at listings that I didn't know the buyer. I like how this was from a professional store and how they replaced a few things to make it work. I still have it as a reminder of a great class and like it for its unique vintage nature. I love the quality. By far one of the strongest cameras I have ever worked with. Easy to use and easy to begin your journey to using more SLR or DSLR cameras. All the parts are still clicking and I had no quarrel with any of the functions. I love the shutter sounds too nothing makes me as happy as the sound of the shutter every time you take a shot. I love how the gears and sprockets and mechanical parts worked. There were a few things missing but that is to be taken in to consideration when buy an vintage model. Things get lost with the tests of time but as long as the body still works you will have a good camera for years to come.
