pentax k1000 vs canon ae-1

[lkk99]

thanks for the reply, if the battery is dead, is the light meter always stuck in the center?

Yes. It uses one LR44 or equivalent button cell battery which is inexpensive and easy to find. If you keep a lens cap on your camera when not in use the battery will last a long time.

got it! i'll keep that in mind if i decide to get the camera from this seller thanks!

thanks so much for explaining it, yeah i guess it shouldn't be a deal breaker. im desperate for this camera but the prices are so steep here in italy so im still waiting to see if i win 480sparky's giveaway LOL or if i keep looking and can find a better deal

@lkk99 I just saw that Sparky's K1000 is going to someone else I was keeping an eye on that as well for a reason. If you didn't get that camera, I wanted to step in with one of my own. I have an extra K1000 that I would like to offer you. The camera will be free and we can work out an arrangement on the shipping. What do you think?

More than happy to help. I bought my K1000 in 1993 and she's been with me ever since. I love the camera and I feel like the extra one I acquired will have a good home with you. I'm going to run a quick roll through it, just to make sure it's all in working order and to remember if it had any quirks. It's in excellent shape and very clean, and it comes with an SMC Pentax 50mm f2 lens. We can work out the details regarding shipping via PM.

Merry Christmas
