Re: Hypothetical question: Cost of a new K1000
It would be better to use the FM2n, since that was in production for a long time with a price history. I would not be surprised if the price ratio difference between the K1000 and FM/FM2n was pretty constant over time. When the FM2n stopped being sold last year it sold for $400-$500. The K1000 price was probably in the 2:3 ratio range (?) That would be a reasonable guess as to what a K1000 would cost today. BR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's an interesting question.

Re: Hypothetical question: Cost of a new K1000
Or take the features of the ZX-M and put it in the K1000 metal body, now that would be a very attractive camera to me. The ZX-M has been compared as the K1000 replacement. > Here's an interesting question.
