"For those with a survivalist mindset, anything battery-dependent might not work in a post-apocalyptic society, but for the rest of us, AA batteries are usually pretty easy to find."
. . .a post-apocalytpic society with 35 mm film but no batteries . . . The metal manual focus is tricky, however. I guess that just couldn't justify the cost and ended up with the cheaper MZ-M. I've always wondered why they killed the K-1000, however. The damn thing is AK-47 of 35 mm cameras. I wonder what a contemporary version, i.e., upgrade the meter, would cost?
