Should you buy the canon K1000 or the Nikon SV?
Many praise the K1000 for breaking photography down into its essentials, but the SV does the very same with a sleeker look and a smoother feel. In fact, many other cameras like the Pentax Spotmatic, the Minolta SRT, the Nikkormat FTn, and the Canon FTb can play the stripped down amateur SLR role much better than the K1000 can.
Does the aperture ring work with the Nikon K1000?
The lens’ focus and aperture ring work fine on its own. However, when mounted to the K1000 camera, the aperture ring doesn’t seem to work when adjusting the aperture value ( I don’t see the elements moving).
How to use aperture on Pentax K mount lenses?
To do this, set the shutter speed to bulb and click the shutter and continue to hold down.

The reason why I’m asking is because the Pentax K mount lenses always remain wide open until you take the photo.
