35mm or 135. Choose by ASA (ISO-100, 200, 400, etc.) and by number of shots (12, 24, 36).
Normally, sellers give you negatives when you simply ask for film as these are the ordinary ones and can tolerate exposure problems better. If you don't know what you're doing, avoid slide film (positive) as these are much harder to handle due to its higher demand for on the dot exposure calculations.
Yes. The K-1000 uses 35mm film.
no
Exposing the film to light may have caused the film to come out blank.
Anything from 85mm to 105mm is a fairly standard portrait lens for 35mm. You can find a few Pentax K-mount lenses online, but it's getting harder as we go because the K1000 hasn't been made in decades.
The K1000 is a fully manual camera, only. It will be necessary for you to buy a self timer winder. This attaches to the shutter release and is extremely easy to use. Hunt for the wind down self timer on ebay. Costs $ 5 to 8.
Yes, perfectly without problems. Metering will work so there is no guesswork needed while in manual mode. The best part is, even if you have a manual focus lens, it will be supported by Shake Reduction and focus confirmation.
Weber seems to usually use and Pentax 67 and a Polaroid Land camera.
By taking it out!! :L

I have owned Pentax cameras since the K1000. I currently have my original K1000, which is my preferred film camera, and a K10D. I've used the other three major products. Of them, I like Nikon the best -- have owned several -- but I still swear by Pentax. Caveat: the K20D (current version) is not a beginner's camera. Also, I'm not knocking Canon, Olympus and Nikon. Sony, who bought Minolta, are producing first class equipment too. This is a matter of personal preference. Any of the major brands are great equipment. Also, I'm referring to SLRs. In the smaller cameras, I would go with any of the name brands. Keep the pixel count as low as possible. You don't need more than 10 MP, and the higher you go with a small sensor, the more noise you get in low light. If you want to pay the money, you can't beat the Canon G9.
Well, my "old" Pentax K1000 will take a maximum of 36 images on a roll of 35mm film. A half-frame 35 mm (no longer manufactured) will do 72 to a roll. My Pentax K10D digital will put a maximum of about 600 on a 4 GB SD card at the highest resolution, and well over 4000 at lowest. As far as which makes the better images, that's a matter of the brain behind the camera, not the one inside.
Pentax Camera Accessory is a website that has equipment for Pentax cameras. eBay is a good source as well because most retailers no longer carry old fashioned film camera equipment. Also, try Amazon.
Pentax's population is 31.
