Links to
FREE ON-LINE CAMERA MANUALS

These are links to on-line camera manuals that I have found on the web.

WARNING - 2019 and forward - many photo sites have been abandon.
It seems there are companies buying up these popular camera domains
and making them "spyware" by asking you to add a "plug-in" to your browser.

Noooooo, you will not like the results.  Plus, there is no information there.
They only bought the domain name for a few buck and forward the name to their junk page.

If you locate any other links for free manuals please inform me

These links are for reference purposes.  I cannot offer any advice to their accuracy or knowledge.

Checked 7-19-'18

My own site at www.butkus.org/chinon
Chinon, Sears, Ricoh K-mount as well as Fujica and
other "orphan" brands that are hard to find over 2500+ manuals

List of many other camera manuals collected from web sites that closed
over the past 10 years.  You must ask by the specific brand and file name if you want one.
