... the lens fitting to attach a flash for flash synchronisation if and when it is needed. The X synchronisation is at 1/60 of a second. Other features include infra-red photography and multiple exposures. The lenses have an infra-red index indicated by an orange line on the depth of field guide. Multiple exposures can be taken by forcing the film to stay in place and cocking the shutter ready to expose again. All in all a great piece of kit for the photographer requiring unlimited control in exposure, focusing and speed. ...more

In this age of high technology automatic electronic equipment it pays to take a step back to the simple things such as the Pentax K1000 camera. The fully manual 35mm SLR obviously requires complete user control but for the photographer who doesn’t want to be limited by a camera’s ability, this is the one for you.

This camera is great for black and white photography. ... Read the complete review
