This is my copy of K1000 with that somewhat rare K 55mm f2.

In price lists from that time, I found:
K2, MX and ME Super was sold body and then you choose the lens.
LX was sold without view finder.
K1000 had a 50mm f2 as others already has pointed out.
But if you read advertisements from that time, you will find bundles or kits. Such as the enclosed add for "Pentax bundles" from June 1976. In the fall there was even a trade in campaign where you could get up to 1000NOK if you trade in your old Spotmatic including 50mm lens when buying a new KM, KX or K2.

Dear friends,
I have just managed to get a long wanted PowerPack M with most of the cables. But I have not found a user manual for this anywhere. Therefore I am hoping that the forum can help out.
Thanks!

Not the most ergonomic battery grip :) But at least you can get batteries and make it work.

What a great find. The hood is nice, do you have the drop-in filters?
And thanks for sharing those photos. Now I have to "hunt" for a cable release. ---------- Post added 08-06-2023 at 09:11 PM ----------
Even better. :)

Hello to all Asahiflex users.
It was great fun to take my old camera out for a spin in the sun. I will post some results here when I get the film developed.
Hope more bring the Asahiflexes for shooting. :)

I think that the el-2000 is made by HP, and also sold as PhotoSmart C912.

I tried the same. Remember that ChatGPT is a text generator and not a facts search engine. :)
__My question was identical to yours______________
The stamp on the film advance lever of a Pentax Spotmatic SP stands for "Exposure Permutation." This feature was unique to the Spotmatic SP and allowed the user to check the number of exposures they had taken on a roll of film and then to reset the counter to a different number.
When you reach the end of a roll of film, the film advance lever will stop moving and the exposure counter will read "0". To rewind the film and remove it from the camera, you need to release the film advance lever lock button and turn the film rewind crank. However, if you want to leave some unused frames on the roll, you can set the exposure permutation dial to a higher number (e.g. 6, 12, or 18) before rewinding the film. This will reset the exposure counter to the desired number of frames remaining, and you can continue shooting on the same roll of film later.
Note that the feature is specific to the Spotmatic SP model and is not found on other Pentax Spotmatic cameras.

It is a good looking rubber hood, but it snaps on, so risk that it migh fall off during use.
The photos shows the two 35-70 lenses, one AF version and smc Pentax-M version.

Great kit!
Question: Is the case custom made by you?
Lots of luck with your sale.

I have the Spotmatic MD It wasn't very expensive. I seem to recall that the store in Vienna had the whole kit for sale in its original case. That is more rare.

Nice collection! The K2 DMD could also be had with a data back option. This model is the first that was designed for a motor drive (2fps!) and even a databack. Earlier models required dedicated bodies to support a MD and/or databacks. Examples are the KX and even KM (I have never seen a KM MD for sale).

The camera on the left is an odd camera, MZ-M. It was introduced in 1997, some years after the first MZ (1995) came to market. It is a manual focus camera, very simple. And from my understanding it tried to replace the very successful K1000 (1976-1997!) as a simple entry model.
It was sold at the same price as the K1000, and there were two zoom lenses with manual focus still in the market. To my understanding the smc Pentax-A 35-80 was the standard "kit" lens.
