FWIW, I think the a3000 was the first pentax body with a built-in winder. Exposure mode was automatic only. It was sort of a point and shoot SLR.

The A3000 was a nice enough camera, but no where near the peak of Pentax's camera bodies. <http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/film_A/A3.html> The only lens mentioned is a 500mm a cheap mirror tele or third party preset. Most likely the only relatively good lens would be the normal, either an A 35-70mm zoom or A 50mm f2.0.
