Thanks John. It does have a manual, which was nice. I've since had a play and in fact the camera will work without a battery, but only on one set shutter speed - 1/500th. Nice piece of kit, all seems to work. In my 20s I had an RB67 which was great fun. Wish I still had it now! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
