sharp, almost as good as the 43mm Limited and better than 24, 28 and
35mm M and A primes.
For longer lenses the Pentax 55-300mm is quite sharp at f/8.
You can compare non-Pentax lenses here: link

Not if you don't use high ISO.
Just a mute point but I don't recall Nikon or Canon forum members who
have the top high ISO models telling the rest of the clan that to not
have that top model is a disadvantage.

The first batch of K1000s were made in Japan - they had this stamped into the back of the camera (like the KM/KX/K2) and the serial number on the top plate like those bodies.
All I've ever seen on older cameras is "ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN"
The one on ebay just has "ASAHI OPT. CO." stamped on it plus
what I think is a non-Pentax "Made in Japan" sticker on the
"leverette" as the seller calls it.
I've never seen "leverette" on a pentaprism before?
I think "leverette" kits were on sale at one time?

capability is a must. The K20D is almost unusable with a 300mm lens
for birds in the shade at 400ISO. A K-x as a second camera would
probably work.
In a few years we will look back and say how did we manage to
struggle along with cameras that couldn't handle anything over
400ISO.

If you do the same with cars you would probably find:
1). Ford
2). Vauxhall
What would that mean
