Yes, absolutely. The K1000 will always have a special place in my heart.

Why the hate? I'm not into photography, i just thought i'd come here and ask about it.

>>3000282
I'm assuming everything is in working order, yes? The camera isn't broken, the lenses aren't full of fungus, yadda yadda.

>K1000
Yes, is good. Actually if that's all you'd gotten, $17 would be a good deal for a working K1000, they generally go for quite a bit more than that.

>the Sigma 28/2.8 on it
that's not exactly what you'd call a stellar lens. It wouldn't stand up to a modern digital sensor. But for film its fine. Try to stop it down, if you can.

>the 135/2.5
Takumar Bayonets are budget things, not the nice glass that "real" takumars are. I own one of those, and the contrast and sharpness aren't great. But again, forget that, seventeen bucks. And you don't need razor-sharpness in a portrait lens anyway. Use that little built-in hood that it has, it flares easily.

>the 50/2.0
At least it looks like an SMC-M 50/2.0. I can't actually see but its the right size and those are common as dirt. Its a nifty fifty. Shoot it at f/8 and it'll be razor sharp, shoot it wide open and it'll be less so, since it's the cheap model (the 50/1.7 and 50/1.4 are rather better, but less common and more expensive) But again, good enough for government work.

>that long-focus thing
What is it, a 400/5.6? Hope you have a nice tripod and a stationary subject. Expect it to be not very sharp and to show a lot of CAs.

>>3000315
welcome to /p/. we hate things. It is 4chan after all.

>>3000316
Thanks for the info! long thing is 500/1.8. Don't have a tripod or any use for it, so off to ebay!

>500/1.8

Maybe a 500mm f6.8
This is a 200mm f1.8
Your lens would have to be over twice as large

>>3000321
I guess you ment 500mm 1:8.

>>3000371
lol already sold the camera for 60

Great deal.
Now go out and use it.
Also those lenses will work on the digital cameras as well. You can get a Pentax digital fairly cheap.

Everyone on /p/ is literally a hateful drama queen homosexual. It's nothing but a board full of Andy Dicks.

What is goodwill? I see it a lot on /p/ and have zero clues as to what it is

>>3000464

K-1000 was my first camera. Loved it.

I missed having depth of filed preview though. So I would just push the lens mount button, and twist the lens until the aperture closed down to whatever I had it set to. Surprised I didn't trash the bayonet mount by doing this all the time!

I get why K1000 was popular, but recommending it today is silly. The MX is basically the same camera, only smaller and has DOF preview. If you want auto-exposure +manual go for the ME super.
