No, the Pentax K1000 does not require a battery for operation as it is a fully mechanical camera.

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.

What do you think about Pentax?

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.

How more pictures does a digital camera take than a old camera?

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.


Is A3000 Pentax Lens Compatible with a K200D camera?

All Pentax DSLRs are compatible with all K-mount Pentax lenses, which is to say all of them back to the 1970s or thereabouts. I routinely use a f1.2 50mm lens from a K1000 on my K10D. The A3000 had shutter-preferred capability, so your K200D should operate the aperture in the lens. Obviously many features, such as autofocus, will not function since the lens does not have the autofocus motor. Keep in mind that your K200D viewfinder will not show the entire field of view on the shorter lenses, as it is set up to work with a sensor that is 1/3 smaller than a 35mm negative. This isn't really a problem. Telephoto lenses will work just fine.
