This is a fully functional Asahi Pentax K1000 with a SMC Pentax M Series 50mm f/2.0 lens included.  The front lens cap is included.  This camera is in good condition, and it has been recently CLA'd (Cleaned, Lubed, Adjusted) with the shutter speeds and light meter adjusted, as well as the light seals replaced, by Eric Hendrickson.  If you need proof of this, please contact Eric with the serial number on the bottom cover.  E-Bay will not allow me to put Eric's contact info in this description but I can provide it to you if you request it.

This camera would be a great student or starter camera.  It is all manual and fully mechanical.  The great thing about the SE edition is that it comes with a split-image finder, which personally I much prefer over the K1000's typical small micro prism.  This camera has "Asahi" printed above the "Pentax" name on the pentaprism, which means that it is all metal, and more robust, than the later K1000s that were made in China.

This camera also comes with an eye cup attachment, which reduces glare and helps if you wear glasses.

I like this camera a lot, but I just have too many other cameras now for this camera to get the love and use it deserves.  It works very well, especially after the CLA.  Included in the photos for this auction is a sample photo that I have taken with this camera.  Ships for free in the U.S. or through the Global Shipping program.
