Asahi Pentax Pentax K1000 Anniversary

The Pentax K1000 Anniversary is a 35mm SLR variant of the long-running Pentax K1000, a manual-exposure film camera that uses the K bayonet lens mount. It was offered as a special-edition release of a model that had been in production since 1976, aimed at users who wanted a basic mechanical SLR with stripped-back controls.

Auction data for this specific anniversary variant is very thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from April 2022 sold for £475, which points to a scarcity premium over standard K1000 examples. With only one verified data point, the Anniversary edition's price today is best treated as an indication rather than a settled market value, and condition, completeness of box and papers, and cosmetic wear are likely to be the dominant factors in what one sells for.
