If you put your K1000, in a dark place, say a camera bag, between uses,
even if you haven't put a lens cap on it and the meter pretty much shuts
down. Leave it on a shelf in a fairly bright place and the meter won't
shut down. It will drain the battery pretty quickly.

Hello Larry, I used to own the K1000 SE with the Kit lens in the '70s.
Must say an awesome camera. Simple to use too.
Yes, w/o the lens cap there is a battery drain. But it is
infinitesimal. And Silver Oxide cells were so cheap and available
every where. Even today I can buy a pack of 100 Chinese G13 (LR44)
cells for INR 120 (US $ 2.4) here in Bangalore, India.
Much of what Ken writes is OK. Don't be too harsh on him - use the
good portions and reject the not so good of what he writes. I found
most of it OK.
Please don't snub out a man's bread and butter with one stroke of your
pen. I learnt to be humble and compassionate after retiring as an
Advisor in one of the world's biggest conglomerates.
May the Force be with you.
