Hi,
Pentax hasn't made or marketed the K1000 for several years now.
Apparently, when it was last marketed, at least one of the places where
they were last manufactured was mainland China.
A bunch of us luddites who still use Spotmatics heard a rumour that
Pentax sold the rights to the camera to the Chinese factory that last
manufactured them as Pentaxes. We also heard that the factory is still
manufacturing them, and marketing them under a different name.
Anyone here know anything about the veracity of this? If true, does
anyone know the name or names under which this camera is being marketed?
Thanks.
regards,
frank
