Photo of KX -- click to enlarge

As a precaution against loss of my manual and a service to other photographers, I've scanned my Pentax KX manual and am making it available as JPG images. It is presented as a front cover, an index, thirty-five pages, and a back cover. To maintain legibility, each image is approximately 674x600 pixels in size. Each image is copyright Pentax Corporation.

Pentax offers this manual and others online in Adobe Acrobat file format here.

The manual is presented here as individual pages, as a 2.4 megabyte PDF (courtesy of Ian Gable), and as a 2.3 megabyte zip file.
