I got the original Pentax flash which was purchased with the camera. It's a Vivitar Auto Thyristor 2800,,,,,,,,,no instructions with it though. However i rarely use a flash.

Hey Mac

thanks loads for the tip on the batteries. Unfortunately I can't download the user manual from that site. All I get is an error message and informed that the file is damaged or corrupt!!!!!!!!!!!!

But thanks all the same mate.

Hi all, HELP

I have just purchased a used Pentax P30 on ebay. Unfortunately the film advance lever only moves half as far as it should. Consequently i can't load a film and naturally can't really use the camera.
The batteries incidentally are flat (not certain if this has any influence on this paticular function) as it is a manual function.

I got loads of extras with it and am reluctant to send it back if it's something simple to resolve.

Many thanks
