Just bought a K-3ii with 5k activations. Didn't come with the hard copy of the user's guide. I've downloaded the .pdf. I'd like to get the paperback copy that would've come in the original box.

If you do not find it maybe used, is to have it printed at a printer or online, I think it is the wisest thing.

Can't you get the Manual from the Ricoh website ?

**Roam Redway** · 11-18-2020, 08:03 PM

I appreciate both of your suggestions. The Ricoh site does not sell a hard copy. There is a guy on Ebay who prints them out in an 8.5 x 11 format. That would probably be cheaper than printing out my own. Still, I'd prefer one as it would've come in the original box.

I have the PDF of the manual loaded on my Kindle. If you download it from the Ricoh site, you could put it on your phone if necessary. No need for a hard copy.

I have the K-3 II Operating Manual, in new condition, unused in original plastic. PM me if you are interested.

My Kx both came with a thick user manual but My K70 came with only a thin overview manual. I searched online and found the larger, more informative, manual and downloaded it to my computer. It was my guess that the manufacturer was condensing the manual for weight and space saving. Many camera companies may be doing the same for that reason. You may need to print it yourself or put it on your phone or tablet.
