It's a classic.
It's metal.
It looks like Dad's.
It's one of the few that doesn't provide any automation, making it a perfect
student camera (you can't use a crutch).
It's as capable as any Pentax body of capturing great images.
Your ME is superior in feature-set, but is no more capable of getting a good
shot than is the K1000.
I'm a little envious of the one I bought for my son, even though I have a MX
and ME Super.
It's simplicity is attractive.
