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!

The camera functions as intended. Lens was in great repair and not scratched. Battery was functional when I received it. My camera didn't have the display for the frame number, but I was able to improvise. Great quality for the price. Highly recommend it.

I bought this for a class I was attending at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona. I loved it! At my age, then 66, it was part of my camera collection since then. I do like to take it out once in awhile just to keep her going.

Great, the camera was in perfect condition. I’m not sure why shipping takes so long but whatever.

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

I will probably update this review after using this camera a bit more, however as of now I can tell you NOT to spend more thinking the strap that comes with the camera is any good. It’s not comfortable, not adjustable, and flimsy, besides being difficult to attach to the camera. Otherwise, the settings for the Pentax K1000 are user friendly and the camera’s functionality seems accessibly amazing. Would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the strap.

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.

Product was in excellent condition. Product came earlier than estimated. Very good service and description of the product.

I got this camera from onlyPOLAROID. The camera came in good condition. I've included a few photos one taken with the camera, on Kodak Gold 200, indoors. The camera itself came with a bag, lens cap, a strap for the bag and camera. Both the bag and the straps are very basic. But this is my first real camera. And appreciate the buffer i got from those two addons. The mirror had a few scratches, and the lens bottom left had what looked like a wiped off finger print. With the scratches being visible in the view finder. But i got the first roll back, and doesn't seem to have any issues with the actual picture. So i am ok with the mirror as it is right now. The light meter seems to work. And there are no light leaks, which is a positive with these old cameras. Looking at the camera, it seems like a hong kong model. It came with a 50mm f/2.0 lens but when i got it. Turned out to be a f/1.78 lens. Which is a plus so i am not complaining. For a camera that is older than i am. Very good condition. I would recommend onlyPOLAROID. But not sure if a poloaroid store can be a good source of pentax k1000s.

I purchased this refurbished camera from Sendean Cameras. I placed 2X new LR44 batteries into the camera and the light metering system wasn't working. Also when i was in focus i noticed faint black dots and lines, the reflex mirror is dirty or possibly scratched, as the dots and lines are still visible after i cleaned the lens. I took the camera down to Sendean Cameras for repair because this product came with a 6 month warranty. they quickly fixed the problem that same day and the camera is now working fine, the service there was friendly and informative. they said the malfunction in the camera was maybe caused during delivery because they had checked the camera and it was working fine before it was dispatched.

Excellent quality

I wanted for ages to go the film camera rout and I had seen a lot of great comments about this camera. "Great for students" was one of them which I am in terms of this analog photography. If you didn't already know its fully manual and has a cable release socket. Their ain't that many features which is exactly what makes it so great. With no fancy features you can really focus on the photography and you creative vision. I wish I could talk more about the camera but I know how it works and how to work and that's good enough for me.

Superbe apareil vintage...
