Looking to purchase online, any good customer service oriented stores. I found one called microglobe anyone hear of these guys.

Thanks peter for taking the time to post, yes the K-1000 would be a good camera for me to learn on. Now the searchbegins, a few of them on e-bay.

I have been av avid bird watcher for many years now and am interested in starting to photograph them. My selections are a used of course K-1000 or for a little more money the ZX-M. Any reviews or opinions on these cameras, the hardest challenge is to get the K-1000n in good shape?? Thanks.
