I have a opportunity to buy this Pentax kit.
Pentax, spejlrefleks, Pentax ASAHI KM ca. 30 year old, but in good working condition
Pentax-M 1:3,5 28 mm
Pentax 1:1.8/55
Bag



It looks like SMC lenses, and I have been looking for a film camera for a while, what about this one..?

Can anyone see if it is a M42 mount..?

What is a fair price to offer..? I now the owner and of course I want to make a good deal, but on the other hand I do not want to "steel" it.

It's the advanced version of the K1000, with dof preview and a couple of other additions. goes for a similar price, and also takes K mount lenses. Nice camera.

Thank you guys. Fast as always Smile

Just to be sure, it is K-mount yes?
Any idea about a fair price?

It is K-mount. As said above, it is a better feature camera than the K1000, for its depth of field preview. I understand that the K1000 has been getting higher prices because it is "well known", so there might be a good bargain in getting the KM.

According to past listings on eBay, the KM body is going for $38 to $65.

Also, check out this good site: http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/

Hope this helps!
