I bought my magic lantern at amazon, it is kinda expensive. it is just a book that teach you how to you use camera. nothing useful if you ask me. it is a waste of money.

just my 9 cents.

agree. I bought the magic lantern guide for my FE years ago simply because the camera was inherited from my uncle w/o the instruction booklet. remember shooting for close to a year with the exposure compensation dial at +1.5 w/o realising it

anyway those were the days before the internet. you could download pdf files of the various instruction booklets nowadays. Kinokuniya has a few of these magic lantern guides for sale.

Both bookshops sell new Magic Lattern books. They include cameras like EOS 30/33, F80, F65, Pentex etc as well as some older cameras. They photographic books at Borders (at the ARTS section are very good in variety).

I think they cost close to S$40. Having read a few of them for my cameras, I feel that they are similar to the instruction guides that come with your cameras. No point buying them unless you have lost your manual. In which case, you can buy photocopied manuals from TCW at Peninsula.
