The Pentax K1000 (originally marked the Asahi Pentax K1000) was a beginner or student level, interchangeable lens, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It was manufactured by Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. (Pentax Corp.since 2002) from 1976 to 1997, originally in Japan. It used a horizontal travel rubberized silk cloth focal plane shutter with a speed range of 1 to 1/1000th second plus Bulb and a flash X-sync of 1/60th second. It had dimensions of 91.4 mm height, 143 mm width, 48 mm depth and 620 g weight. Unlike most SLR's of the time, the K1000 was available in only one color: black with chrome trim. The K1000 was the simplest member of Asahi Optical's Pentax K-series SLR's.

The K1000's extraordinary longevity makes it a historically significant camera, despite its very ordinary design. In truth, it was already obsolete when it was first released. The K1000's inexpensive simplicity turned out to be a great virtue and earned it an unrivaled popularity as a basic but sturdy workhorse; supremely well suited to teaching budding photographers proper photographic skills. Many professional photographers first learned photography using the K1000.

The K1000 was an almost all metal, mechanically (springs, gears, levers) controlled, manual-focus SLR with manual exposure control. It was completely operable without batteries. It only needed one battery for the light metering information system. This consisted of a center-the-needle exposure control system using a galvanometer needle pointer moving between vertically arranged over/underexposure markers at the right side of the viewfinder to indicate the readings of the built-in full-scene averaging, cadmium sulfide (CdS) light meter versus the actual camera settings. Note that the meter did not have a true on/off switch and that the lens cap needed to be kept on the lens to prevent draining the battery when the K1000 was not in use.
