Is my Pentax k1000 fixable?
In the view finder, I see a little piece of black foam hanging there. But when I open the camera (take of the lens), I don't see anything hanging there.
If there's foam or rubber needed to be replaced, would my Pentax still fixable? Since it's discontinued and the company has moved on to digital products, isn't hard to order parts and get it fixed? Do Pentax still have parts?
Is it over for this camera?
I thought it would be nice to keep it as an antique camera. The camera still looks new and clean. However, if it's not functional, what's the point?
The K1000 is definitely serviceable. The price shouldn't even be too bad. Hunt around and get a few quotes. See if there's a camera technician in your area who can take a look at it.
It sounds like you could even put up with it but there's a risk that the foam might move and mess up a picture. There'll probably be some light leaking around the mirror too. Foam and sealing strips are pretty generic products. A camera technician will have a few sizes which cover most cameras.
Edit: Second hand pro cameras... Very tempting. I got tempted once. Great for 12 months. Then a couple of little problems - the repair quote for that has meant it has sat in a cupboard for ten years.
