A surprisingly great little camera! Film tested and everything worked very well - in fact much better than I expected and it has become my go-to camera to test K-mount lenses. The 50mm lens has a touch of fungus, and the only other slightly annoying thing about the camera is that the film advance lever doesn't stay nice and firm against the body. I thought something may have been loose so I removed the top cover to check and everything's good and tight. Maybe it's designed that way!
According to Wiki, these cameras were a house brand for the UK camera store Jessops. This one was based on the Pentax K1000 and is probably from the 1990s. It’s totally manual - you need to focus and set the shutter and aperture, but it does have a built in light meter displaying over, under, or correct exposure.
$49 for the camera and lens together ($56.35 incl GST)

Free delivery is available in the Wellington*, Hutt Valley, Porirua and Wairarapa regions but it is at my convenience - I can't make a special trip for an item worth a few dollars. I'm usually in these regions at least once every couple of weeks.*Wellington has become a real nightmare to get through and park, so it may have to be a rendezvous in an easier location.
