Need
an instruction manual?
Camera collectors ofter find older cameras and accessories at garage sales, antique stores or estate auctions, but only rarely is there an owners manual with the equipment.
A very useful site for those looking to locate a manual is the website created by Mike Butkus. Mr. Butkus has a “research library” of over 5600 instruction and user manuals for vintage and antique camera, flashes, exposure meters and other vintage equipment.
The information is free, but Mr. Butkus asks for small donations through PayPal.
You can find the website at https://www.butkus.org/chinon/index.html
We need social media help getting our site known—share the wonder!

Life is like a camera
Just focus on what’s important
Capture the good times
Develop from the negatives
And if things don’t work out
Just take another shot
