The operating manual for the Asahi Pentax cameras is merely an instruction book for

deal fully with every possible application of the Asahi Pentax System of Photography
because those applications are almost limitless.
The following book is therefore recommended to those amateurs who are eager to learn
more about the Asahi Pentax System of Photography and photographic technique in
general. It is available in English, German and Italian languages, and each can be
obtained from your photo dealers or directly from the publishers listed on the next page.

Herbert Keppler has been associated with the U. S. photographic magazine Modern
