Glad to hear that! Thanks! But keep in mind, basically when it comes to the K1000, I'm just going by what the built-in light meter is telling me. I'm terrible at guessing lol
K1000 is my favourite camera. I bought a used one in 1996. It was made in 1978. I used it professionally for motorsports shootings, interviews, travel shots etc. I regret for selling it. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing 😇
Agreed. Can't believe I still have mine from high school in the 80s. It's held up SO MUCH BETTER than ANY of my digital cameras that are hundreds of dollars more.
I also got mine back in the 1980's. I just Recently tucked it out of the closet Put a new battery in it and I'm having fun with it again I feel like a kid again. Still works great. Hard to kill them. Good job with the video. Keep having fun.
I really appreciate the fact that you tell us the aperture and the shutter speed. It is great help for beginners!

As someone who just bought my first k1000 this is extremely helpful

Hi Jason, the Pentax K1000 is one of the best mechanical cameras. I still use it regularly next to my Minolta X500. Keep on shooting.
Thanks Marcel! Love my K1000!
Love both the k1000 and kodak gold!
Great video mate.. cheers for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I'm planning to get back out quite a bit with the K1000 this spring!

Thanks! More Pentax K1000 videos coming in the next month.
Can I ask what battery type
My first camera was a K1000, waaaay back in the 80s, probably the best camera to learn the basics.
I've used many film cameras, and always come back to the comfort of the K1000!
@@DozierGraphic Indeed, it was a loyal old friend that never let you down.
These shots look nice, I personally love the way gold looks. When metering for the bright outdoor scenes sunny 16 can help.
Totally agree!
I enjoyed the video because it brought back memories for me. I one of the first cameras I used was the K1000.
Best wishes

Awesome camera Duane! I'm finding a lot more enjoyment in film these days!
Specifically the K1000’s viewfinder has the best/simplest meter indicator with the +/- analog needle.
I got just a Pentax K1000! I was wondering what other films would you recommend to use ?
I typically just stick with Kodak 200 for color film because it's the easiest and cheapest for 'learning and experimenting.'
How did you digitize your film? I’m getting into film photography and just curious how you personally went about making it digital
I've used both DSLR method, and an epson v600 scanner. The scanner is easier for me, even if not the 'best' results.
