Asahi Pentax Pentax K2 (black)
The Pentax K2 is a 35mm SLR introduced by Asahi Optical in the mid-1970s as part of the Pentax K-mount line that replaced the long-running M42 screw-mount system. The black-finish version sat at the upper end of the K-series range when new.
Sales data for the black Pentax K2 is extremely thin, with a single UK auction hammer result on file at £35 (wholesale, before commission). On that limited evidence the K2 sells for modest sums today in 2026, though one data point is not enough to set a reliable price band, and clean, fully working bodies typically command more than untested examples.

Frequently asked questions
What is a black Pentax K2 worth today?
Evidence is limited to a single UK auction hammer result of £35, so a precise value cannot be given, but it indicates the black K2 currently trades at modest prices at saleroom level.
How much does a Pentax K2 sell for at UK auction?
The only recorded hammer price in our data is £35, excluding buyer's and seller's commission; retail prices from dealers are typically higher.
Is the Pentax K2 black version more valuable than the chrome?
Black-finish 1970s SLRs often carry a small premium over chrome, but the available sales data for this specific model is too sparse to confirm a reliable differential.
