Based on information from the K1000 serial list on pentaxforums dot com's film forum, that is going to be a 1982-1983 model. Keep in mind that is very rough estimate derived from user submitted...

Aw! That's really sweet! His dad has a thing for old Kodak rangefinders, so I'm hoping that the little one favors me a bit. :-) How early can you spot Pentaxian tendencies? But for now, we...

I find myself caught in these every once in a while since I kind of come and go and don't keep track of who has a beef with who these days. I'll say something that will start some old heat between...

I could hardly distinguish who too what photo without looking at the copyright info, which is saying quite a lot for the other guys! :-) You've got quite a team there,...

Easy questions that I can actually provide the answer to. :-) -- http://apt131.com/rotation/cow30.jpg http://apt131.com

Have you set the lens' aperture ring to the A position? -- http://apt131.com/rotation/cow30.jpg http://apt131.com

LOL. Hate you, but don't take it personally. I'm not fond of much at the moment. -- http://apt131.com/rotation/cow30.jpg http://apt131.com

Interesting, but probably just a fluke. I've seen $1100 and $800 MSRP. I know that doesn't equate to street, but it's usually closer than...

Where are you having it developed? If I could still get b&w film, I think I would've already picked up a full kit. -- http://apt131.com/rotation/cow30.jpg http://apt131.com

Ever since the Q was announced, I've found myself drolling over 110 auctions on thaBay. I think I need an Olympus Pen Mini with adapter (seriously, they make them) to shoot with 110 system...

I've seen photos of New Zealand and will send my sympathies for you in a package along with pity for the (sub-30 year-old) cousin of mine who just posted on Facebook that he's having trouble...

I thought this article was interesting, given the general disdain that Aussies on the board have expressed for C. R. Kennedy, Pentax's current distributor in...

I was going to mention the DA* 16-50, but am a little hesitant because of the price - $900US from BH these days. It is the only zoom lens that I own and gets equal time with my 31/1.8 when I can...

Ron, I congratulate you on giving up smoking cigarettes, but you do know that the harder stuff is even worse for your lungs, right?...

Exactly. The assertion that they would discontinue Pentax DSLRs/lenses of switch mounts is even more absurd when put into the context of Ricoh's near-obsessive relationship with K-mount lenses...

I was thinking the opposite, actually. I love to use it when there's a need for something slightly wide, but would be much more comfortable with my 31/1.8 as an only lens based solely on the focal...

I like my 21/3.2 an awful lot, but I would not be happy with it as my only lens. The image quality is great, but the focus length just doesn't lend itself well to being an only lens. ...

This reminds me of when a deer came walking up to me on a trail once and I had to fumble my 135/2.5 in a hurry for something shorter. Luckily, she was a patient deer. It turns out that the trail I...

I've been happy with it as an all-around 100mm. I have a nice 135/2.5 K, bu I just can't bring myself to pack it around much anymore when I'm carrying the 100/2.8. The length is a little...
