The ASAHI PENTAX KM, released at the time of the K-mount transition, is positioned as a popular model. Released in 1975, it has no special features and is basically a standard model with the ASAHI PENTAX SPF's mount changed to a PK mount. The KM, due to its very solid design, was renamed the PENTAX K-1000 and became a long-selling camera, with production moved overseas and sales continuing until the late 1990s. Lens Mount: PENTAX K mount Shutter: Horizontal-travel cloth-curtain focal-plane shutter, B, 1 second to 1/1000 second, sync speed 1/60 second Exposure Meter: CdS light-receiving element, averaging metering Power: Replacement battery LR44 x1 Price at Release: Body 42,500 yen (3,000 yen more for black) Manufacturer: Asahi Optical Co. "Condition of this camera" There are scratches and scuffs from years of use. There are also dust and wiping marks that could not be removed, including on the lens. I have used it for "railway photography" and landscape snapshots. While there is a sense of use, I have maintained it to the extent that it does not affect actual shooting. The exposure meter is working and can be used as a reference, but please use a separate exposure meter. The light seals have been replaced. There are no problems such as light leaks, and actual shooting has been confirmed. "Notes" ・Due to the age of the camera, please consider 1/1000 second to be about 1/500 second due to the curtain tension adjustment. ・There is no exposure meter switch, and the metering starts when the lens cap is removed. Since the battery drains quickly, please put the lens cap on when not in use. ・Until the light seals settle in, open and close the back cover carefully with your hand. ・Loading film will make winding heavier. We recommend careful winding operation. "Sample Photos" Banetsu West Line C57180 Banetsu Monogatari-go 35-70mm, 55mm, 135mm, using Fujifilm 400 Tohma Bridge curve, Ichinoto River Bridge, Nozawa Station, Tohma Bridge Image data (2 million pixels) was downloaded from Fuji Color CD. Only tone curve correction was performed, and no image processing such as color correction was done. This camera is a practical camera and is not a beautiful item for collectors. I am presumptuous, but I recommend that those who are particular about details purchase it from a specialty store. This is a "sale as is" item, with transactions only in Japanese. There is no warranty, including for shooting. Please check the profile.
