Pentax K1000 SE

Out of stock
The Pentax K1000 SE (Special Edition) is a variant of the legendary K1000 35mm film SLR. Mechanically identical to the standard model, the SE typically features a brown leatherette finish and a split-image focusing screen rather than the standard microprism spot, aiding more precise manual focusing. It is a purely mechanical camera, requiring a battery only for the simple needle-match light meter, making it a staple for photography students.
