Everything is in your hands, from the shutter speed to the aperture and focus, which makes it a great camera for learning how photography really works. Small lights in the viewfinder tell you when your exposure is right, so you can shoot with confidence even as a beginner. The shutter is fully mechanical and keeps working without a battery, which only powers the light meter. It uses the Pentax K mount, the same as the Pentax K1000 and Pentax ME, so you can choose from a huge range of affordable lenses. The 35-70mm zoom is a practical everyday lens, wide enough for street scenes and long enough for relaxed portraits. Light and easy to carry, it is a lovely camera for travel and daily life. A great value choice for anyone who wants to learn manual photography without spending a fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical (battery only needed for the light meter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Shutter Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/1000s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pentax K mount, 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 Petri MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full manual only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFully mechanical, no battery needed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDue to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works.
