just bought one of these cameras. I would like to have a manual. I know that there are 2 on ebay, one for 20€ and the other one for 40€. as far as I know it's only 10 pages on bad quality paper. so a copy would do. a .pdf file would be even better. any ideas?

I think, I have one. But I am far from home. Next week Iˇl try to find it and scan it.
If you know something about cameras you donˇt need the manual. It is all logical.

Best regards, Martti

thank you martti. I think I don't need the manual to get it working (I have a technikardan since 20 years), but sometimes there is still a bit of information that might help further. so I would appreciate a scan a lot. thanks again and kind regards.

thank you very much, martti. there is not much difference between the 13x18 and the 18x24 camera. so now I know what it looks like.

Hope, you understand it. Maybe somebody will translate it to English?
I have many soviet camera manuals. Someday I will scan them all.

I can guess a part of it. translation to english would be nice. I tried to extract the scans from the pdf, put them through an ocr and let it go through a translater. in principle, this can give good results, but as the scans came from a badly printed and obviously typewritten manual, they were not good.

but as you said before: these cameras are easy to handle. and thanks again, you saved me at least 20€. I would certainly not have been happy to have paid this sum for just 10 badly printed pages.
