I have had in the past Canon A1 & 20D, Olympus OM2N, NikonFE Sony A700 and after selling my Panasonic GF1 which I did not like, my son advised me to look at Pentax (which he owns) and so a trip to SRS Microsystems I purchased a Pentax K5 with 18-135mm lens. I just wanted to get a magic Lantern book to make the camera easier to understand rather than the supplied manual, but there isn't one only for the K&, you can get for all the Canons and Nikons but not for Pentax - WHY

Welcome to the forum, I've moved this to General Chat so more people will see it.

Maybe they haven't published it yet? Anyway, the Magic Lantern Guides seem Ok, but the K7 one would be almost identical if there is one. They don't really say much over and above what the manual says and what always seems to be missing is a bridge between books that tell you how to operate functions and books that tell you why you would want to.

Hopefully this forum will answer many questions that you may have.
