First introduction--howdy from NC mountains...
My sister sent me her old K1000 (I used to have one myself, as well as a K2, which I foolishly gave to someone years ago). Two problems: 1)the focussing ring on the original F2 50 mm lens is loose. It will focus, but slip when it gets to the stop. If I hold it tight, it works fine; 2) the film winder advances but doesn't return. As far as I can see the shutter is working properly. I think the spring is ok because if I partially move the advance and let the lever go it will return a little.
I really like this camera and hope to get it working. The lens looks good. Since I can return the winder by hand, I will try some photos in the next few days.
Thanks for any suggestions.
