If your Promaster lens went on your K1000 then it was
a 'K' mount lens and it will not fit a Nikon. 'Promaster'
is the name of a no-name line of lenses available in
various mounts: K, Minolta, Nikon ...

Probably not a good idea to get a Nikon FM-10 - it isn't
a Nikon but a budget-line Cosina (?) that is available
in several skins: K, Minolta, Nikon ...

Go to ebay (if you know what you are doing) or KEH (if
you would rather not take risks) and get an F3, probably
the best bang-for-buck in the used Nikon line-up. You can
usually save $50-$100 by buying one that the previous
owner had engraved. KEH's BGN bargain grade is often
equivalent to an ebay 'excellent'.

For a budget lens the 50mm f1.8 'E' is recommended.

K1000 is superior to the Nikon F10.

If you want drop dead simple reliability in the Nikon line, look for a
used Nikon F.
