I saw a brand new K2000 in a local store today and they are selling it for 299e with the kit lens (250 GBP).

I am looking for a second body to have around for my family to use, and thought about something light and easy.

Do you have any experience with the camera and its performance? For the same price I could get a used K200D, which adds weather sealing, but it is a bit larger and heavier. (or wait and buy a K-x). Which way to go?

I believe it affects the centre focus point though, as long as you use centre average it would give good results from what I hear, it's with the spot metering it can go wrong.
Yes, that is correct. I had spot metering and I would get wrong reading with slower lenses. Since then I have used centre average without problems

I do not see any exposure problems, and also focus seems fine. But I must admit that I have not done any very precise tests on focus. The screen does come with shims, in case needed.

Focusingscreen seem to have had pretty good reviews around the net.
I bought one of these for my K20D. It is the K3 model and I am very happy with it. Very bright, and it has the rule of thirds markings.
I would definitely recommend it

bristol camera sell new at £199 + £10 shipping
This is not the same lens. The one Bristol Camera sells is the DA-L version, with plastic mount, no lens hood and no quick shift focus.
The one for sale here is much more expensive.
