if you own some nikon gear (as your EXIF tells me you do)
why not look at a Nikon Fsomething maybe a FM2

I would, and I'd love to, but these are the only two megadeals on craigslist at the moment. K1000 with 50 f/2 for 35, AE-1 with a 50 f/1.8 for 75.

I'd go for the k1000, personally. des haet ae-1.
However, even considering that, $75 seems like a lot for a meatspace sale. If you do decided to check it out, don't pay more than $50. Remember to not seem interested and to leave about $53 in your wallet when you go. Stick the difference in your back pocket (if it looks fuck new).
If it's a toilet, don't feel obliged to purchase just because you showed up!

K1000 FTW

Plus if you get a DSLR later on by Pentax, you can use any old manual lenses

AE-1 doesn't have manual mode I think?

This alone should make the choice obvious.

Oh. Still, I'd go for Pentax. K-mount > *.

I got the Pentax in the end, and it's awesome! I'll develop the rolls in a bit and see how they came out.

As a fellow owner of a K1000 I congratulate you
