Description: THIS is the ACTUAL ITEM For Sale--- you'll receive this one Pictured. I don't post stock photos and then send something similar from "Inventory." Also Included is an Additional BONUS Group of Five items--- another lens, and some other useful Stuff from my vast overstock of useful accessories. Here's a terrific Vintage 35mm FILM SLR Camera--- a Great camera for a "purist" film shooter or for a Student to Learn Real Photography because of the basic "Match Needle" metering to determine the exposure. The Pentax K1000 was very popular from the 1970's to 1990's and it's the best basic camera to learn photography---- my opinion as photo teacher for 20 years. This Pentax has very light cosmetic wear & tear in general, just normal age wear and light blemishes, and it will shoot pictures fine, because its mechanical and it's built like a tank. It's a pretty good One! Functionally... everything is working well---- it winds smoothly and fires at all speeds up and down the scale. The light meter is working ---- the needle moves smartly between the +/- to aid the user in setting the correct exposure for it's "Match-Needle" calculation. The viewfinder is clean and clear with no hindrances. Inside the film chamber it's also clean... it can probably stand to have new seals, but it should still get the job done the way it is. Included is a 50mm f/2 SMC Pentax-M lens shown and is Excellent condition too. The aperture operates fine, it focuses smoothly, has minimal exterior wear, with just a few dust specs inside---- but they will not affect photos at all. So overall--- it's a nice versatile camera in Great Condition---- AND GREAT for a Basic Photo Class! It includes a Skylight Filter, a rugged modern "Op-Tech USA" strap, and generic lens Cap. What you see is what you'll get. Continental US Shipping will be $12.50. I will ship the next day after purchase. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying you Agree with this--- I am not a store like Amazon. I'm just an old camera collector/shooter selling some Used items. If you read all of the description you'll see I took the time to check out the item and give you an honest description. But that said, and because eBay sux, I can't have things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. I've been a photographer for 30+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for and can recognize when something is broken. But I can't "Bench Test" everything to factory specs, and understand every little bell and whistle. So I'm sorry, I can't sell this item on Approval--- it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns. Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every every millimeter of it and I might have missed something. Sold as Not New, a less than perfect item, with possible defects that I don't know about.. As expected with age, a used vintage camera could be found with a nick or blemishes here and there or a few additional specs of dust inside that I failed to mention, particularly inside the viewfinder... but they won't affect the photos and would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfect. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE Interesting Items---- I'll be selling a large portion of my camera collection over the next few months, so check back and/or tell me what you're looking for. If you have questions about this or other items or combined shipping or other discounts---- please ask... Let's make a deal. Thanks
