Yes!

The K1000 is manually wound. At the end of the roll of a film it would take an unusual amount of force to tear the film out of the cartridge and cock the camera again.

IDK if you get really 36 or sometimes even 37 frames out of your 36 exposure rolls. When I bulk-loaded my film I did not care about cutting it (kind of...) precisely to 36 frames either.

Whatever you get hold of; toss it into your camera, shoot till the roll is finished, rewind and enjoy the comfort of the frame counter setting itself automatically back to zero for the next roll. <- Even the K1000 has some luxury features!

Thank you so much for the reply! So helpful!

I have always used 36exp in my Pentax K1000 because the indicator goes to 36, but discovered a family member's 24exp roll. Can it be used in my camera? If yes, will it automatically stop taking photos at 24 or will it try to go on to 36?
