Paired here with something genuinely uncommon: the \u003cstrong\u003eZenit MC Helios 44K-4 58mm f\/2\u003c\/strong\u003e, the native \u003cem\u003eK-mount\u003c\/em\u003e version of the Soviet Helios 44. Most Helios 44s are M42 screw mount and need an adapter on a Pentax; this one bayonets straight on. The optics are the same Zeiss Biotar-derived six-element design that made the lens famous for its swirling backgrounds wide open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Pentax K1000 — fully mechanical 35mm SLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Mechanical horizontal cloth, 1s to 1\/1000s + Bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash sync: 1\/60s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Pentax K — native, no adapter needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Zenit MC Helios 44K-4 58mm f\/2, 6 elements in 4 groups, Biotar-derived\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: f\/2 to f\/16, 6 blades, automatic stop-down via the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 52mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum focus: 0.5m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens weight: approximately 255g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 35mm film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: TTL match-needle — currently non-working, see condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Body in excellent condition with minimal to no signs of use; tiny dust present inside the viewfinder.

Cosmetically the body is near-flawless apart from a little dust in the viewfinder. The native K-mount Helios is the interesting part here: swirly-bokeh Soviet glass with no adapter stack between it and the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359329980519,"sku":"L-0349","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/0793\/9943\/files\/DSC_6645_72c77ece-ebe4-44c8-bec9-fa2a35e92bf7.jpg?v=1790902309","url":"https:\/\/v2.filmcam.in\/products\/pentax-k1000-mc-helios-44k-4-58mm-f2-l0349","provider":"filmcameras.In","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
