: I have an old asahi pentax es camera that I inherited from my father. I don't know how to use it properly. There is also a flash attachment with it. Do you know where I can get an operating manual.
: Jane
--------------------------------------------------Your camera was made between 1972 & 1974. It is an Electro-Spotmatic; that is what the ES stands for. It was produced for sale outside the US because of the Asahi badge on it. Your camera has two exposure modes; Non metered manual and AE or Aperture Priority(set the opening and the camera will automatically adjust shutter speed to give you a good picture).Your camera uses the older style Universal or "Screw" mount."
You can get a manual from Pentax @ 1 800-729-1419, or you can use the link provided for Pentax
available On Ace Forum's "Manuals" link.
Good luck
George
