so my dad gave me a Kalimar KX 5000 SLR camera.
the only thing i know about this camera is that someone told me that it's a knockoff version of the popular Pentax k1000, which to the best of my knowledge is a decent camera.
i literally know nothing about these types of cameras. it has a lense that says 35-70mm. it has no flash. i would want a flash.
is there any sort of reference guide out there where i could learn a bit more about how these cameras work, and more specifically what are some basic parts out there that i could buy for this old thing? i wouldn't want to invest much -- as i really don't have much disposable income as a college student paying my own way -- but i think using this thing would be a lot of fun.
