Re: Here's one thing that's buggin me.
Respectfully disagree. The web is huge, learning what's available and what's not is a frightening waste of time. Seeing what you need on Ebay for a few bucks can be worthwhile even if free elsewhere. -Lon "Gary L.

Re: Here's one thing that's buggin me.
Ya, same as the big companies that offer the Vivitar or Phoenix flash rings. Over and over. Then of course there are the TC's as well. Makes for boring and irritating browsing. Does ebay have a policy on that? - Original Message - From: "Paul Stenquist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax Discuss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 10:07 PM Subject: Here's one thing that's buggin me. > Every time I peruse the Pentax offerings on ebay I see this: "Pentax 6x7 > instruction manuals.

Here's one thing that's buggin me.
Every time I peruse the Pentax offerings on ebay I see this: "Pentax 6x7 instruction manuals. Wow! Must see!" Or Pentax LX manual or Pentax MX manual. All from the same guy" fashiondejavu. It just pisses me off to no end. He's charging people good money for manuals that Pentax provides for free. All he does is send the Acrobat pdf file. The same file you can download on the Pentax site. I'm starting to watch to see if people actually bid on this crap. If they do, I'm going to e-mail them and tell them where to get it for free. I hope you'll do the same. Happy Holidays, Paul Stenquist
