The Pentax K1000 is a 35mm SLR film camera with a 50mm f2 lens. It is a good camera for beginners because it has only a few basic settings. Here are some insights from expert and user reviews: Pros • Sharp and precise • Controls are well-designed and comfortably placed • Film advance is smooth and easy • View is gloriously simple and clean • Remarkably robust Comes with 2 lenses, 2 flashes (not sure if both work), bag & strap. Has been a great camera.
