I'm in the process of producing a site manual for the DP75's and have the manual from the warehouse as the reference.

The only problem at this point is the photographs in the manual appear as b&w renderings and most if not all detail is lost, effectively making them useless.

Would anyone have greyscale renderings of those photographs that appear in the DP75 manual that they could post?

Thanks for any help.

Ian

Hmmmm, me thinks you need them for a reason Ian.....now a drive-in owner?

I don't have them, but there is a drive-in down the highway a few hours from you that uses DP75s also and may be able to help.

Depending on which tech company you get friendly with, you could also ask them; John Coleman, etc

If business gets slow on a movie, you can always charge admission so people can watch the lens turret spin!

All of the DP75 manuals that I've personally seen were photocopies...even those that came from Kinoton! As such, the scan is a representation of that, unfortunately. I agree in that if a manual has good pictures...scan them in greyscale.

Then again, I can't think of what pictures in that manual would be useful that having them in greyscale would dramatically improve it (particularly if you have the machine itself right in front of you).
