What it is
{"overview":"The Asahi Pentax K2 is a 35mm SLR introduced in 1975 as the top model in Pentax's original K-series line, launched alongside the KX, KM and K1000. Inspect the foam light seals, mirror box, and the K-mount flange for wear, and confirm the battery compartment is free of corrosion. The value is very condition-sensitive because the camera depends on a working electronic shutter."},{"q":"Is the Pentax K2 the same as the K1000?","a":"No. The K2 was the top model in the 1975 K-series and offers aperture-priority automatic exposure, whereas the K1000 is the entry-level fully manual body in the same line.
