Pentax unveils limited edition K-5 DSLR in silver


Rounding out today's lengthy list of camera announcements, Pentax has a limited silver edition of the K-5 digital SLR.
price on a pentax k1000 and lens help please?

A friend of my grandpas is offering to sell me a pentax k1000 as long as I give him a reasonable offer for it.

He says he has only taken 2 rolls of film with it and couldn't get them to expose properly so he put it away. (He isn't a camera type of guy, I think he just didn't understand the camera). I believe he bought it new and it seems to be in good condition.

It would come with 1 lens a kalimar 28-200mm lens. (I don't really like it.) and a sunpak external flash.
The camera has a haze filter on the front but doesn't appear to have a lens cap.

I have looked on ebay and from what I am seeing you can buy one for 30-60 dollars with a nice lens, sometimes even up to three. Is 40-50 dollars a fair price to offer him?

I think you would be making a fair offer at 40-50 dollars. I have 2 k100s one of which i bought from goodwill for only about 20 dollars and it takes wonderful pictures. The k1000 does take a lot of abuse and still keeps going. I would look into buying a couple of pentax lenses if you can find them for a reasonable price. The 55mm 1.7 smc is a nice sharp lens to start out with.
