Pentax K1000 with 50mm f1.8 lens
This was being shot by a visitor from Thailand- the K1000 is known as THE ubiquitous student camera seemingly everywhere in the world but one that’s somewhat rare in Japan. Indeed, the only ones I’ve ever seen in Tokyo have been around the necks of foreign visitors. For whatever reason Japanese student cameras are usually Nikon FM2s. Can’t go wrong with a solid Pentax like this, though.
