The Pentax K1000 is considered one of photography's greatest, most popular, and longest-lasting cameras. Its simplicity is a key feature—it does what is needed without unnecessary complexity. Great camera for a photography student! The Pentax K1000 is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It is fully mechanical and requires no battery to operate, except for a small A76 cell battery to power its light meter. In contrast to the “automated” digital cameras that often overwhelm users with a myriad of features, the K1000 only has three primary shooting controls: aperture, shutter speed, and focus. You also set the film speed when loading the camera. While digital cameras offer automatic ISO, automatic white balance, automatic exposure, automatic film advance, automatic focus, and countless other “automatic” functions, it is remarkable that the manual K1000 allows us to take great pictures with just three controls. It even provides guidance on how to set each of these controls on its own! There is a good reason why every photography instructor recommended the K1000 for their classes: it is an exceptional camera that encourages you to focus on your composition rather than on the camera itself.
