IAW Pentax advice: The non metered prism doesn't care (I don't own one of
these, so I can't verify. The metered prism may be mounted at any time. If a
lens is on the camera, unlock it, turn it to the dismount position and turn
it back to mounted position to engage the "chain drive.". "Works fine. Lasts
long time. Paint it green an' it won't rust."
Regards,
Bob...

Hi Derby, welcome to the Brotherhood, my manual is printed (thanks again
William), so I can't there, but definitely get one, there are a few things
you need to know; e.g. never put the prism on unless you dismount the
lens, never wind the take up spool counter-clockwise, etc. etc.
Have fun with it....

Does anyone have a scan of the 6x7 and leaf shutter lens manual? Neither
of these seem to be available on the pentax.com site. I know that care
and feeding of these beasts needs some care. Or any tips would be greatly
appreciated.
