Anyone remembers those old soft and hard camera cases?

I cary my pentax in it all the time. I usually remove the camera from its case before taking pictures, but it does protect the camera against knocks. I had to cut down the case a bit to so that my pre-spotmatic could be wound with the case in place since the spotmatic is a mm or two taller than my old camera. The case is certainly not a paper composite. I expect that a used spotmatic case would fit your k1000. Peter. -- |

Yup, I had a Spotmatic before the K1000, then I guess the philosophy at Pentax was, the K1000 wasn't meant to be a top of the line camera, and only top of the line cameras got real leather. Hard to believe just how durable the old K1000 has proven to be. (case not withstanding!) -- Regards, Savageduck |
