Yes, it is non-A, manual
The Achival Matte is good but I doubt they stock it. The Heavyweight Matte
is almost as good and CompUSA normally has that in stock. If you want
glossy, the Premium Glossy Photo Paper is good, the new ColorLife paper
would be better if they have it.

Another pack that has not been mentioned in the Beseler Sedona 920. I use
one for my Kiev88 gear. I like the upper compartment as I can keep the prism
and 250mm lens mounted on the body and it fits with no problem. The lower
will hold several lenses and other items.
For my 35mm, I have a Lowepro

Do a google search under vivitar tx mount pentax and you should find several

Ricoh had their "P" to equal the Pentax "A". However, the "P" was activated

pin, it won't work on Pentax bodies in any modes requireing the "A" setting.

The thing I miss the most is the perspective correction. But perfect
