Re: [OM] Damn, I'm excited!

     My first film camera, a Kodak Retina IIIA, had no manual.  You put the 
film in, armed the Compu-Rapide shutter, focused, then pressed the shutter 
release.  The OM-1 and OM-2 cameras I got many years later were a little less 
complicated as advancing the film armed the shutter.

     Just how impossibly complicated can a camera be to warrant a 650-page 
manual?  The flight manual for the C-130E/EII/H is less than 200 pages.
