Pentax K1000 Manual SLR plus Extras

Classic K1000 firm including lens, camera bag, new battery, external flash & roll of film.

Other Pentax options are Spotomatic (M42 lens or M42 lens adapter), MV, ME & ME-Super. If you want to get into K-mount cameras for a little less--I have s very clean Ricoh KR-10 film SLR that are very similar to the ME-Super.

Lens: either Pentax-A 50mm f2.0, Pentax-M 50mm f2.0 or Pentax-M 50mm f1.8
Extras: flash, fresh batteries, roll of film & case

Other manual lens options:
o $130--Sigma-FA 70-210mm f4 (won't autofocus on these manual cameras)
o $120 Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 pancake--famous for great IQ in a compact package!
o $115--Tokina-A 70-210mm f4--this is a fantastic lens--it was primary on my K20D most of the winter
o $90--Sigma 35-105mm f3.5
o $75--Sears-M 135mm f2.5--fast
o $65--Pentax-M 135mm f3.5
o $50--Pentax-M 40-80mm f2.8
o $25--Focal-M 28mm f2.8
o $25--Five Star-A 75-200mm f4.5

I have successfully used all of these lenses on my Pentax K20D digital SLR. The manual lenses (-M) work just fine using the magic green button for metering. The -A lenses communicate fully with the camera.

Other Southcentral Alaska Sellers on Craigslist/Alaska's List (as of 7/2010):

$40 w/unspecified lens and detachable flash
$100 w/unspecified lensSoldotna: two K1000 bodies w/lenses
