I must say that I am quite amused at seeing the datedness of the manuals I currently own. The 420EX manual, for instance, mentions the EOS 1-v, the EOS 30/ELAN 7, and the REBEL. At the end there's a long list of cameras that the 420EX is compatible with, which is a long list of EOS film cameras. No digitals. It also mentions the 550EX. I''ve been reading this forum a lot, about the 1D series, the xxD series, the entry-level xxxD series...it feels like a whole another time when the 420EX was new back in 2000. And it wasn't even that long ago.

I must have an Eos 10 manual somewhere. So that would be about 10 years older...
Then again, I also have a few old photography books which include recipes for making your own developer and fixer :p

I have an original, hard-back filed manual for a Kodak DCS3c with me. Look it up in google, and be prepared to laugh a lot. Not to mention the ones from a Nikon F90 and a SB-25...Any takers?

BTW, I still have the DCS3c camera itself...in working condition. The battery`s shot, though...

Somewhat on topic, I still own this:

And it works perfectly. Sad to think it was $1200 when new.
