Hello Larry, I used to own the K1000 SE with the Kit lens in the '70s. Must say an awesome camera. Simple to use too. Yes, w/o the lens cap there is a battery drain. But it is infinitesimal. And Silver Oxide cells were so cheap and available every where. Even today I can buy a pack of 100 Chinese G13 (LR44) cells for INR 120 (US $ 2.4) here in Bangalore, India. Much of what Ken writes is OK. Don't be too harsh on him - use the good portions and reject the not so good of what he writes. I found most of it OK. Please don't snub out a man's bread and butter with one stroke of your pen. I learnt to be humble and compassionate after retiring as an Advisor in one of the world's biggest conglomerates. May the Force be with you. Bipin.
