There can't be THAT MANY photo students! Honestly the K1000 has become enough of a cult camera that it is overpriced for photo students and there are better choices nowadays. One of my co-workers, who is adamant that "Canon is better", has a K1000 that he takes mountain biking. He wound up with my 135/3.5 and 24/2.8. DJE
