The Spirit of Showa Craftsmanship: Vintage Pentax K2 and Luminous 50mm f/1.4 Lens Embrace the quiet sophistication of vintage Japanese photography with this classic Pentax K2. Designed during a time when durability and premium quality were paramount, this camera tells a story of meticulous dedication and timeless design. It appeals deeply to those who seek authenticity and historical narrative in their collection. When you touch its metal exterior, you are transported back to the 1970s, feeling the nostalgia and romanticism of classic filmmaking. Although the shutter currently requires attention to become fully operational again—as it does not trip despite the working timer—the camera stands as an elegant sculpture of optical history. The fine dust within the viewfinder and the minor signs of previous use on the body add a genuine character that cannot be replicated. Complete with the ultra-bright 50mm f/1.4 lens, it promises the serene joy of holding a true piece of Japanese heritage in your hands. * Release Date: 1975 * Manufacturer: Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. * Product Name: Pentax K2 with SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 * Dimensions: Approximately 143mm (Width) x 92.5mm (Height) x 56.5mm (Depth) (Body only) * Weight: Approximately 680g (Body only) * Type: 35mm focal-plane shutter SLR camera * Lens Mount: Pentax K-mount * Shutter: Electronic vertical-travel metal focal-plane shutter (Seiko SE) * Shutterspeed: B, 8 to 1/1000 sec * Film Advance: Lever wind system * Operation: Timer operates but shutter does not fire.
