That's a lot like how my MG wound up. Did you have a purpose in mind, or just did it for fun? I was after the K mount for a yet-to-be-finished flash project. - Peter -Original Message- From: P. J.

Well, I would love to get this myself as it strikes me as another can't-miss deal. Unfortunately, I'm strapped and already put the money I could used toward my M-50/2.

Re: Possible great deal!
I wouldn't get that excited. 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.

RE: Possible great deal!
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. -- J.C.
