Here is an online manual for the C330.
http://www.photonet.demon.nl/mamiya/c330s/

There is a section on the lenses that shows the current construction of the
lenses and their elements here
http://www.photonet.demon.nl/mamiya/c330s/page_31.html

On the basis of that you will hopefully be able to ensure those lens
elements are correctly aligned.

Dan,
Welcome the the SL66 family.   I am sure you will find your new camera
quite interesting.  I know I love mine.  I would recommend a visit to Mark
Meier's site www.sl66.com  He sells a CD-ROM with all the SL66 manuals and
literature for a reasonable price.  He also has a link to another site

http://www.mediakyoto.com/camerashopper/cla_came_e/sl66_e/index_e.html

which covers most of the basics of the camera.

Of course, if you want an original manual, you could probably get one from
John Craig: http://www.craigcamera.com/


or perhaps Pacific Rim Camera: http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/

I am sure you will have lots of questions.  Several members of the list use
SL66s so ask away, you will get lots of answers.  The most important rule
is to never remove the back from the camera without cocking the shutter
first.  (Just like a Hasselblad).

All the SRTs are very similar, and you could use pretty much any
manual for any model.  The 200,201,202s are more fully featured than
the 101.  It will be obvious which features you don't have.

The short answer is that the rights, obligations, and assets of Carl Zeiss
Jena VEB passed to control of the Zeiss Foundation in 1991, though the
State of Thuringia has some legal interest, as well.  So, check with the
Carl Zeiss Museum for permission.

However, I doubt if anyone would object.  We scan and pass these documents

The manual is still there:

http://www.mamiya.com/customerservice1.asp?id=3&id2=115

Click "Downloads (PDF files)", then "645". In the window that pops up click
the red down-arrow next to M645 1000S (On some systems you may need to
right-click on this one and choose "Save target as..." or similar). The
manual is around 2.53Mb.

Hope this helps!

Well, kind of ;-)  Go to the Hasselblad web site, and find their phone
number, and call them.  They have send me manuals for free, and if they
charge you, it will be minimal, like $5...

Pentax USA offers free downloads of user manuals for most

Adobe Acrobat Reader is also available there if you need it:

All it takes is a couple of clicks to download any manual.
It's hard to believe some people pay for this stuff on eBay...

Hi,
There is a manual for the ETR model at

The list of differences between the ETR models is on the Tamron website

I don't know if anyone has posted this link before, it seems very

I only looked at the 360PX manual (seems to apply to my 320X apart
from the TTL stuff)

I hope it's useful to others; I'll add it to the Links on this site too

To: [email protected]

For some strange reason, this is true for film cameras, lenses and
accessories, but not for CoolPix cameras, Digital SLR cameras, Speedlights,
Scanners, and Software. You can find them at:

http://www.nikon-euro.com/nikoneuro2/download/download_manuals100.htm

Not all languages are supported for all products. I lost my D1 manual before
I sold it, and used a downloaded manual while the printed manual was out of
stock at Nikon.

Once I have a broadband Internet connection, I plan to download all the
appropriate manuals and keep them on my laptop to make it easier to keep the
manuals with me while I travel.

The entire G3 user guide as PDF can be downloaded at

It explains the interval shooting capabilities in great detail.

You find a manual online:

Remove the film back to easily check the speed.

Subject: New on-line instruction manuals.


All,

Joe Chan [email protected] is not a member of the SLRMAN list and so
has asked me to make this announcement on his behalf.

Today, Joe has added the Leica R6.2 instruction manual to his basket of
Leica manuals available on-line and without charge. All Joe's manuals
are done in .pdf format, with fully searchable text and can be found at:
http://www.joe-chan.com/manuals.

Also on his site, are the manuals for the M2 (full manual & quick guide),
M3 (full manual & quick guide), M4-P, R6.2 and R7.

Links to all Joe's manuals can also be found on my site at:
http://www.horizon.bc.ca/~dnr. Then click on "Leica Instruction Books".

Also there are scanned copies of the books for the Leica CL, M4-2, R3, R4,
R5, R6 & R7 as well as links for scanned copies of the M5, M4-P, If, IIf
and IIIf and the Leicaflex SL.

We hope you find these books useful. Enjoy!
