The Pentax P3 is a manual focus 35mm film SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera that uses Pentax K-Mount lenses. The P3 is a relatively compact SLR camera that was designed to be economical and easy to use while still benefitting from interchangeable lens compatibility. Unlike Pentax's more well known K1000 design, the P3 has a Depth-Of-Field Preview lever, only offers automatic ISO setting via DX film code reading, has an LED meter display, and features a Program Auto-Exposure in addition to a standard manual exposure mode.
The Program mode requires electrical contacts for lens to body communication; so a KA-Mount version of the K-mount like an SMC-A lens (or a newer style) is necessary for full lens compatibility. SMC-M lenses lenses can still be used, but only in the Manual exposure mode.
