Operating manual for DFA 150 - 450?

TroutHunterJohn · 02-04-2016, 03:57 PM

I just received this lens, purchased new from B & H. It did not include an operating manual. Should it have?

It seems that, with all the features and control switches and buttons on the lens, some kind of owners manual would be helpful. I look on the Ricoh web site and found nada.

Did you receive one?

Yes, one should be included.

Here's a PDF:

I think someone mentioned that it's rather well hidden behind packaging in the box. Check carefully.

Yep, my manual was tucked behind the packaging in the box. Sort through and it should be there. Not that there is much to it.

Manuals are there Download operating manuals - RICOH IMAGING UK LTD.
It's not obvious, but for lenses , you have to select "k-mount". But it looks like every site of every region have a different layout and selection.
