I have a used Asahi Pentax K1000 35mm SLR film camera with a Pentax-A SMC 50mm f/2 lens in excellent condition. It is fully functional. The shutter speeds sound correct at all speeds (accuracy not determined). The light meter with a brand new battery appears to be accurate (tested with an 18% grey card in full sunlight conditions). The battery compartment is very clean. The film compartment is very clean. The light seals and mirror bumper appear to be in excellent condition. The body barely shows any signs of normal wear. The lens optics are free of scratches, mold, and mildew. Under normal lighting, it appears very clear, but when a super bright light is hsone through, there is a very faint haize in the back (found often for its age) which should not affect the image.There are a few dust particles (normal for a lens of this age). The oil free aperture blades are snappy. It focuses very smoothly.

Included:
Camera with neck strap
Original instruction manual

Brand new battery for the light meter (there is no on/off button on this camera, you must keep the lens cap on when not using it)

The instruction manual can be found here:
