Why does this make me think of Fahrenheit 451? Got it; a scene late in the movie where a People are walking together, one reciting a book, the other listening. That part of the movie ended with an old man, supine on his bed, listening to a young boy recite his book. And then he passes on.

As us older folks retire to the whatever after and technology advances the few service manuals that were once only available to authorized service that have been made available to the public are disappearing.
As far as Fahrenheit 451 is concerned I liked the 1966 version better than the 2018 version.

I'll stick with the 1953 version. I didn't know that Bradbury issued new editions in 1966 and 2018! What changed from the first edition?

Thanks for the manual. I take any chance to spread copies across my archives since I seem to lose manuals every few years for reasons I will never understand.

1966 and 1918 were movies based on the 1953 book.

They made a movie from that book???

Did they even READ the book??? I mean, a book about the end of books because of moving images making people dumb, and of course the way to get people to know about the book is to make a moving image thing to ...... oh, never mind.... (and yes, my orginal comment was tongue in cheek. this one, maybe not as much....)

The manual looks bad until enlarged to 200% in Adobe reader.

Unfortunately, I’m a little late to this thread. Is this file still available through other channels? The drive link is no longer valid.

Thank you

I've added Charles' link to "the list." http://www.largeformatphotography.i...to-look-for-information-on-LF-(mainly)-lenses

Since he isn't sure how long he'll leave it up I've taken the liberty of mirroring it, with credit given, on my OneDrive
