I have recently got my hands on a Pentax K 1000 with 2 lenses. I can see a *little* fungus on one of the lenses and the other one does not stop down when I press the lever. Also, the camera body could use a CLA. Can someone please recommend a good place where they would service Pentax? I am located in Columbia, SC.

Thanks

I've had Eric do clas on a Pentax SV, Spotmatics, KXs, K2, K1000s, MX, and LX. Very good prices and great work.

Thanks everyone for replying. I sent the camera to Eric for the necessary repairs.
