The Promaster 2000PK Super (not to be confused with the 2500PK Super) is a 35mm film SLR marketed by a company better known for photo accessories such as tripods and lighting gear. The camera and its Spectrum 7 50mm f/1.9 lens are recognizable as a rebadging of the Cosina C1—also maker of numerous Vivitar cameras over the years. The model designation refers directly to two of this camera's salient features: a respectable 1/2000 second top shutter speed, and the "PK" lens mount accepting optics from numerous different brands. The shutter is entirely mechanical, and will function without the two LR44 or SR44 button batteries which power the simple match-LED exposure meter. The 2000PK lacks the self timer and PC socket for flash found on various related models, but has all the essentials needed by a newcomer to film photography in an economical package.
