Free Minolta Manuals
These pages provide links to freely available Minolta manuals on the Internet. In addition, there are some manuals hosted here that were scanned by me. To my knowledge this is not a copyright violation (at least, since photocopies of a lot of these manuals are offered for sale, either through web sites for this purpose or at auction sites). If you are the copyright holder for any of these manuals please inform me about potential violations, so I can remove them. This is a free service to the Photography community. I do need your help to keep adding manuals to this resource. Please look at the bottom of this page for ways you can help.
Thanks for your help in this effort. Please spread the word if you find it useful. It is a shame that photoenthusiasts have to spent $10 for a photocopy at ebay (check here for examples) or $5 to download a pdf at some commercial sites. With this in mind, I would appreciate it if you do not sell material that came from this resource. Feel free to link to it, download it, send it to your friends, but do not sell it!
Here are the manuals: (the
symbol indicates manuals hosted here).
October 14, 2004:
- The links to the Konica Minolta site were remapped
- This site will soon move off geocities, because of space and bandwidth issues
- Have 10 more manuals to add, after the side moves off geocities
- Please realize that I am doing this as a hobby in a part time basis. I can try to fill requests, but please understand that I cannot e-mail, print, send or give any of the manuals away other than from this site
- These are huge files and tent to time out under slow (i.e. modem) connections. Also, the AOL browser is notorious for mishandling pdf files. The only solution to getting incomplete or unusable files is to try to load again at a different time
- Enjoy!
Still need to add repair manuals and manuals for the older cameras and rangefinders. If you have access to any of these and want to share with the Minota users community, please let me know. Thanks for all your help and encouragement with the site!
