Hey Fish, welcome to PF and welcome to the small but very friendly ''film'' section....I have two K1000's and the meter on both is quite good and accurate...I have found that slightly underexposing my images works great, opposite of digital.

Picture quality, atleast as far as I am concerned comes down to lens and film...The bodies don't seem to make much difference..

I am sure others will be able to give you more and better advice...
