I checked online for a used Magic Lantern F100, and I'm shocked at the prices! I could get a used one in "very good" condition for $195... if I had $195 to spend on a used book. One rated "new" is $343.55! Yikes. I wonder what makes them so valuable?

I guess I'll go with the $3 download of the Nikon user's manual.

Oh my! That's outrageous. You don't need that book. The manual is fine, and the F100 isn't that difficult.

If you can't find a manual, here's Thom Hogan's book.

You can download the F100 manual for free. Here's the link:

http://www.butkus.org/chinon/nikon/nikon_f100/nikon_f100.htm

The guy who hosts the site asks for a voluntary donation of $3 if you download a manual that you found useful. Considering that this site will save you nearly $200, you might wish to consider giving him the donation.

Yes, I found that link. $3 sounds really good! Thank you.

I'm kind of surprised regular manuals can't be bought. I can't imagine what might make the Magic Lantern worth those kind of bucks! Maybe a lifetime supply of film comes with it.
