Orphancamera manuals gone?

[68degrees]

I'm still getting "account suspended" for any pdf links I try

me too. everything is fine until you click on a manual to download and then BOOOM! "account suspended"

Chinon works okay.

When I try Bronica S2, Leica M5 and Olympus OM-1 and OM-G I get the account suspended notice.

Orphancameras appears to be back. I just got an email from Mike Butkus saying there was a foul up but it is taken care of. I just checked out several manuals and they are there in place of "account suspended". HOORAY!

I got an answer to my email 6 hours ago (I was asleep) that there was a problem that couldn't be resolved on a weekend. I think also he decided to move everything to another server perhaps for that reason or another, and that took time. Regardless, apparently everything is back to normal.

If you haven't done so, maybe donate a buck or three to Mike. 🙂

Having Orphancsmera gone for a few days really showed just how valuable a resource it is. From his email I learned he puts a lot more work in to it than I ever imagined.

Finally some great news I was afraid this was going to compound my Essex Camera depression!

Absolutely correct. I know I have only sent a donation about 50% of the times I've downloaded manuals. It would have been a real miss if the site had been down for good.

What happened to cause Essex Camera depression?

Got them, Phil. Now if I can just figure why Adobe Reader keeps crashing ...

Just did a google search. Bummer. I imagine they lost a lot of equipment and parts if they didn't get stuff moved out of the way.

Well, Mr. Kim had twenty technicians so if he decides to pack it in hopefully some of the techs' will start up a repair shop....?

Now it works!
