Mamiya C330S & C330
This manual was adapted for the web from scans of an original
C330S manual. The scans were done by Erik Jonker. During the
conversion to the web version I made a few style changes as well
as a couple of grammer changes, mainly to make the document
more web friendly. Also thanks to Keven Fedirko for finding all
of my typos.
There are also a few additions that I made; pointing out where the
C330S differs from the original C330, and the color photos on
page 3 are of a C330, and not a C330s. (the color photos are by
Bob
Erdman).
Scans of the tables on pages 40 and 41 were difficult to read and I
am hoping to get some better scans so that I can complete them.
At the moment they are empty...eventually they should contain
the depth of field tables for the 7 lenses listed in the manual.
Hope you find this
helpful...John M. Brewer
