>>281118 Only Mediumf pentax i've managed to use was the 67II. Results varied; I personally prefer the Bronica SQ(?not sure on model number) The Bronica felt more sturdy & had a better build in my opinion.
>>281125 Hard to explain, but the K1000 feels solid in your hands, the D80 doesn't balance that well, I found. Also when taking a photo, the AF I find on the d80 scouts around abit, and has trouble finding a point. Manual focus is pointless with the nikon viewfinder. On the otherhand the Pentax, although only manual focus, has a bright - clear finder, making it easy to focus accordingly.
When using the K1000 I felt like I was in control over everything, but with the D80, even in manual mode, I still feel i'm fighting with it. Its just not the same.
Why not use a FM2 instead of the K1000? Simply because I find the nikon FM* range have stupid extras which hinder me. For example the lever to advance the film, if its pressed down the shutter doesn't release. Or the little 'safety' switch at the side of the shutter. I assume its for using the bulb function, although i've never bothered to try.
K1000 + digital back would be perfect.
