Asahi Pentax Pentax K1000 SE
The Pentax K1000 SE is a 35mm film SLR variant of Asahi Pentax's K1000, a manually operated student-market camera that remained in production for decades after its mid-1970s introduction. The SE designation denotes a special edition trim of the standard K1000 body.
Auction data for the K1000 SE specifically is thin: a single UK saleroom result from 2022 hammered at £138, which is the only datapoint available to gauge what the camera is worth at wholesale level today. With so little verified sales history, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm guide to current value or what the model reliably sells for in 2026.
