I was the original poster, and, although I never said I wanted manual

Shel,

Yup, just so Best of Both Worlds:^)
They still make A series lenses presumably for the ZX-M. They have updated
the look of them to look like the FA but they are still called A series.

They currently manufacture the ZX-M and the 50mm f2.0 A. I have heard
conflicting reports about weather or not Pentax is actually making other
A series lenses or just selling old

The camera doesn't automatically advance after each exposure, and I
can choose when to advance it. Because, in most instances, I can
rewind the film
