Asahi Pentax Manual by John D.Cooper

I can't believe this 500 pages binder book has arrived at my doorstep! This book only stopped at Screwmount bodies and a catalogue of Takumar screwmount lenses.

Quoted from the preface: "This is a general guide to photography from the vantage point of the owner of a Pentax camera. It covers the entire scope of picture-taking principles and techniques, including selection and use of lenses, perspective, composition, exposure, flash and other artificial light, treatment of a wide range of subject situations, achievement of unusual effects, and the creative potentials of the darkroom."

There's also quite a number of colour photos taken by Pentax photographers from Europe, the Americans and the Orient.

OK, its abit much, i will take my time to read it and hopefully more inspiration out from this book.
