It's difficult to tell its county of manufacture by serial number alone but the all-metal construction and Asahi Opt. Co. stamp indicate it was either made in Japan or Hong Kong. The camera only requires a single LR44 or 357 battery for its light meter (optional).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ever-ready case and the original manual in French are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: the K-1000's light-meter switches on if light is detected so use the lens cap (included, attached to the strap) to preserve battery life. If you remember to do this, the battery can last for years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera and lens (SMC \u003cspan\u003ePentax-M 50mm F1.4)\u003c\/span\u003e were tested with film and performed superbly, delivering sharp, well-exposed images.
