Detailed Digital Pentax Manual?

**Shrive** · 05-04-2021, 03:20 PM

So, I spoke w/ someone today who mentioned that there is published a detailed Digital Pentax manual for several cameras. That the current K-3 III does not have one yet.

This digital manual is probably not published by the manufacturer. But it is much more useful than the original.

I googled and found nothing. Anybody know anything about this??

Thanks

Thanks a lot. I've been living in a cave. I didn't know this resource existed until today.

I'm sure someone more capable than me will carry on Yvon Bourque's tradition.

**i_trax** · 05-04-2021, 06:11 PM

yes , I have most of them , very useful.

A point of explanation Shrive: unfortunately Yvon passed away recently, hence the need for a new author if a K3iii volume is to appear.
