Ann, you have not one but (3) golds - congrats.
The K-1000 was pure gold - 99.99 % fine. I remember buying mine from
one of the then New York's biggest camera store Oldens for $ 247 in
early 1978. It was the SE (or SI) model (split image with micro prism
collar), all metal mostly, and definitely not made in China. It was
the best camera I ever owned. I even bought an M 28 mm 2.8 lens for
it. apart from the std 50 mm f2 kit lens.
Enjoy.
Actually I bought this k-1000 in the salvation army for $29.95 with a
camera bag, a canon sure-shot, and 4 rolls of gold 200...
Not to keep, but to sell.
My one remaining film camera that I don't intend to part with is my 1975
KX... I had a k-1000 too... sold it to a student a few years ago.
I bought the K-1000 , the good one, back in 1985 when I was about to go
to the Bosque del Apache Wildlife refuge in New Mexico and BOTH my LX'en
were out of commission. I still have and use the M 28mm 2.8 from 1975
and the 50mm f2, which is rather beat up so I use it as a loupe mostly.
