The Pentax K2 camera is the flagship model for the K-series. It combines 35-millimeter film photography with advanced features to capture stunning pictures. With a high range of electronic shutter speeds, you're equipped to take beautiful portraits and landscape shots. Plus, you can take advantage of the automatic exposure feature on these cameras. It adapts to the lighting according to the aperture setting. The Pentax K-mount allows you to attach a variety of lenses to the camera body.Released in 1975, the Pentax K2 SLR camera offers the best of both worlds. It combines an exposure compensation dial with an aperture priority mode. By setting the shutter speed to automatic, it makes the proper adjustments to your pictures. As a result, you can focus on depth of field and shutterbug opportunities. Ideal for advanced amateur and professional photographers, it offers fast in and out focusing from 28-135 in focal length. You'll find the F/stop information in the viewfinder. It has a vertical drop shutter to reduce shake and give you photos that will be blur-free.The K2 single lens reflex camera (SLR) comes with a bayonet-style lens mount for interchangeable lenses. Push the shutter button, and a reflector bounces the light up to the pentaprism and automatically goes back down. By design, a lockup feature allows you to fix the mirror in an up position before taking the picture. In doing so, it prevents the vibration that can come from mirror slap. A small chrome button in front of the dial frees it up for manual use. You get continuous stepless speeds (8 and 1/1000 sec) in auto mode. In manual mode, you get the full range of stepped speeds from 8 to 1/1000 sec. Additionally, a mechanical B mode allows for operation in case the battery dies.You can vastly improve the quality of your photos with the Pentax K2 rapid-response, center-weight metering system. The meter comes on with a slight press of the shutter button. You can locate the current speed on the right of the viewfinder screen. A meter needle marks the camera speed. In manual mode, you can turn the aperture ring to slow down or increase the speed. Use the Pentax K2 for a landscape photo, a building shot, or groups of people. The exposure scale goes from 4x to 1/4x. Use 4x to quadruple the light hitting the film when shooting against the light. For pictures against dark backgrounds, use the 1/4x setting. Turn it to 1x for normal photographs.The 0.88x magnification viewfinder on this vintage K2 camera reduces an image to 95%. As a result, you can see the entire image in the frame. It has three terminals to connect a flash: an FP terminal, an X terminal, and an X hot shoe contact. The hot shoe remains cold unless connected to a shoe-mount electronic flash. The Pentax provides each photo with color accuracy, exposure accuracy, and a dynamic ASA to ISO range. Take top-quality shots with this Pentax K2 SLR Film camera.
