I like the match needle metering and luckily mine has split screen focus. There were a couple of occasions I could have done with a dof preview though.
I'll see how the pics come out but it didn't beg to become a keeper. For an older generation mechanical SLR, the Minolta SRT303 is hard to beat.

Howard, if you want the K1000 experience with dof then try finding a Pentax KM.
