Recently acquired Pentax KM.

The KM is very much like the K1000's I already have, but it has a self-timer and depth-of-field preview button. I was the sole bidder on eBay for $20 ($54.88 after shipping and taxes), so I'm happy to add it to my collection.

The shutter is working well on the camera, with correct speeds from low to high; however the self-timer is not working, which is not something I usually use. The meter is not working either, and I tried to solder the loose wire, but couldn't, and now the wire is too short; and that's okay, since the camera is mechanical and I'm used to shooting without a meter or can use a handheld one. The lens is in perfect condition, super smooth and one of my favorites; it's a SMC Pentax 55mm f/2, which I believe was a kit lens and never sold on its own.
