Here is an online manual for the C330.
http://www.photonet.demon.nl/mamiya/c330s/

There is a section on the lenses that shows the current construction of the
lenses and their elements here
http://www.photonet.demon.nl/mamiya/c330s/page_31.html

On the basis of that you will hopefully be able to ensure those lens
elements are correctly aligned.

Dan,
Welcome the the SL66 family.   I am sure you will find your new camera
quite interesting.  I know I love mine.  I would recommend a visit to Mark
Meier's site www.sl66.com  He sells a CD-ROM with all the SL66 manuals and
literature for a reasonable price.  He also has a link to another site

http://www.mediakyoto.com/camerashopper/cla_came_e/sl66_e/index_e.html

which covers most of the basics of the camera.

Of course, if you want an original manual, you could probably get one from
John Craig: http://www.craigcamera.com/


or perhaps Pacific Rim Camera: http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/

I am sure you will have lots of questions.  Several members of the list use
SL66s so ask away, you will get lots of answers.  The most important rule
is to never remove the back from the camera without cocking the shutter
first.  (Just like a Hasselblad).

All the SRTs are very similar, and you could use pretty much any
manual for any model.  The 200,201,202s are more fully featured than
the 101.  It will be obvious which features you don't have.

The short answer is that the rights, obligations, and assets of Carl Zeiss
Jena VEB passed to control of the Zeiss Foundation in 1991, though the
State of Thuringia has some legal interest, as well.  So, check with the
Carl Zeiss Museum for permission.

However, I doubt if anyone would object.  We scan and pass these documents
around and have been doing so with the knowledge of Zeiss.

Click "Downloads (PDF files)", then "645". In the window that pops up click

For some strange reason, this is true for film cameras, lenses and

Scanners, and Software. You can find them at:

http://www.nikon-euro.com/nikoneuro2/download/download_manuals100.htm

Not all languages are supported for all products. I lost my D1 manual before
I sold it, and used a downloaded manual while the printed manual was out of
stock at Nikon.

Once I have a broadband Internet connection, I plan to download all the
appropriate manuals and keep them on my laptop to make it easier to keep the
manuals with me while I travel.

That may be true. Let me put it this way, Nikon's repair CD is the only

Hello!

I've been reading your page at: http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/manuals.html

and notice that you do not list any Leica manuals.

Please note that I have, or have links to free, on-line manuals for most
Leica Rangefinder cameras and nearly all the Reflex models.

Most are scanned pages, though some are available as .pdf files. All are
free to the user. On most, front covers have not been provided, to avoid
'for profit' vendors downloading and then reselling them. But all the
needed information is there.

These can be found by going to
