Pentax K1000

The pentax K1000 is the film camera in which I shall be shooting the majority of my images from. This Is because the camera is both reliable and easy to use. The camera itself has a manufacturing longetivity of 20+ years, and although it is not quite a vintage SLR, it is a Classic. The K1000 was based around the Pentax KX, which seemed to resemble the earlier 42mm mount Spotmatic.

You are also able to use interchangeable lenses with this 35mm camera, which enables you to successfully shoot a wider range of subjects as you are able to find lenses in order to suit your concept, and produce images to the highest quality.

The Pentax K1000 is almost completely metal, and is mechanically controlled by springs, levers and gears. One main advantage about this camera is the fact that it is completely operable without batteries, however the camera does require batteries for the light metering information system.

Above is some research into the pentax K1000, we was debating using this to shoot our magazine covers, however we all came to the descision that it would be too much of a lengthy process with a very similar outcome to digital, so instead we shot our photos in a photography studio against a black backdrop with a digital camera.
