According to Carl Shipman's "How to Select & Use Pentax SLR Cameras" (HP
Books, edition with 1980 as the last copyright date), the Pentax K1000
specifications are:
Magnification: .87 with 50mm lenses, life-size with 55mm lenses
Viewfinder shows 95% of the frame
The same book lists .88 with 50mm

Keith,
I'll save you the trouble: the coverage figure is not in there, either.
And my buddy at Pentax cannot find a spec

That's magnification, not coverage. Two different kettles of fish.

I have Pentax' brochure on the K1000, and it says 0.88x magnification
with standard 50mm lens, focused at infinity. Are you saying that's incorrect?
