Up for sale is a beautifully maintained Asahi Pentax K1000 35 mm single-lens-reflex camera - the legendary, no-nonsense workhorse of film photography. It was my Grandmother's who never used it and was passed down to me.
I only used for a couple years in college and took EXTREMELY good care of it. It works fine and the pictures it takes are gorgeous (message me if you'd like to see examples of pictures taken on this camera).
This Pentax Asahi is in really good condition, fully tested and working perfectly: the shutter fires smoothly, the meter is operational, film advance and rewind are solid, the viewfinder is clean, and the 50 mm lens is sharp and clear. What makes this offering especially appealing: I'm including two compatible flash units. First, a rare Japanese flash specifically made for this camera (Japan-market accessory, matching the original K1000 era) and second, a larger American style flash unit that works seamlessly with this body. Together you're getting a complete shooting bundle: camera + prime lens + dual-flash setup.

Lens: 50 mm standard lens mounted (check markings in photos) - perfect for everyday shooting. Condition: Excellent for its age - no major dents or dings, clean chrome and black body, leatherette intact, viewfinder clear, light meter functioning. Accessories included: Rare Japanese flash unit (designed for the Pentax K1000) + larger American flash unit (compatible).
