Javier: Oops... my mistake... not quite awake here... to early in the morning! Should your friends wish an instruction book, it can be downloaded for free= in .pdf format by going to http://www3.telus.net/~telyt and then clicking on INSTRUCTION BOOKS on the= left. On the next page, under the line "available in .pdf format", they= should click on Leicaflex. Note that the book downloads as two .pdf= files. Hope this helps.
