There is an aftermarket manual / book for the Kx...

Pentax e-books

Would have preferred a printed book to an ebook however the author seems to specialize exclusively in Pentax, which should make it the best alternative to the factory manual.

I know Joe Farace and English is his first language. (Author of the K100D book) He lives in Colorado.

Thanks for your kind comment about my book!

Well, I always tell people that my K7 book is light bedtime reading .... GRIN

Hi Kelly, No, not from Magic Lantern anyway and I have not been asked to write one for the K-5 so far, anyway.

Is there a Magic Lantern available for the Kx? I have been searching online and can't seem to find one - Peter Burian seems to have authored some of the other Pentax guides but nothing so far for the Kx.

Cheers and thanks Kelly

I find the K-x manual to be fairly well phrased and logical... tbh I'm not sure what the fuss is all about...
Anything I am unsure about can be easily found using a quick search of this forum...

You can download a free sample of this e-book for the Pentax K-x before you purchase:

When the economy is sluggish, people buy fewer non-essentials such as books.

Of course, if a Nikon or Canon camera will sell like hotcakes, the books will still do ok.

But Pentax never sells nearly as many cameras so a lot fewer books too.
