Ian -
Thanks for your reply.
I found the IX on Ebay at a 'Buy It Now' price of £30 - from a seller
in Italy!!
I have an EOS 10D but looking back over the numerous film SLRs that I
have owned the one that stands out is the IX - which I sold some time
ago. The IX is beautifully designed and the build quality is
outstanding - I also liked the APS format: I had a hankering to have
one again 'for old time's sake'and couldn't resist buying one at such a
low price.
Old Timer Cameras have user manuals £14.95 for an original and £9.95
for a copy: being essentially mean, even the copy price seems high in
pro****tion to the cost of the camera. There are websites where manuals
can be downloaded at a very low price but none have a manual for the
IX.I suppose I'll have to 'bite the bullet' and buy one unless I can
remember what was in the manual re the finer points of use!
Luckily, I still have the relevant ERC tucked away in my 'odds and ends
'draw.
Best wishes -

HIagain Denis.
I had a further thought. Have a look through Amateur Photographer when it
has an article on a camera from past years.
You should find, within that article, a list of camera fairs. There is
also
a Fairs section in the classified adverts.
Usually (I may regret saying that) handbooks sell for £5 at these fairs.
You could also do a search on the web.
Regards, Ian.
