>>2686595>how do i know if the seller is selling my something that ill have to get repaired?That's the risk you run with ebay. Honestly, if it's too good to be true it usually is. But also, keep in mind that you can check verified sellers with reputable ratings. Or feel free to check
keh.com,
collectiblecameras.com or even amazon and see who the sellers are there.

Check out the canon AE-1 or AE-1 program, they have the metal top and bottom like the K-1000 and are excellent cameras all around.
Here is an incomplete list of the most popular brand's that made them, look for 35mm manual slr to get this sort of camera:
-Pentax (Best value, high quality, and durable cameras with an amazing range of lenses)
-Nikon (Very high quality cameras and lenses and durable but EXPENSIVE)
-Canon (Pretty good cameras, good lenses, weird design and usage on some cameras)
-Olympus (Extremely high quality compact cameras with great lenses at a decent price)
-Konica (Pretty mediocre cameras (Still doing their job well), the lenses are literally the best in the world, a person wanting highest image quality will use konica hexanon lenses)
-Minolta (Cheaper but high quality still, cameras are ok, but lenses are very very good)
-Praktica (East German cameras of high quality and durability, high quality lenses of ZEISS design! A bit old fashioned, I love them, very cheap today!)
-Fujica (Oddball cameras, still nice though with high quality lenses)
