Sadly, I think it's your first option, the market is just too small.
Unless of course you are referring to the OM cameras - of course you
don't
need a manual, these things are a natural extension of your body! With
my OM-1
+ favourite lens, I can keep it hanging off my shoulder, and when I
see a scene I want
to photograph, entirely by feel set the exposure, taking into account
desired depth of field
(usually as shallow as possible in my personal case) and roughly pre-
focus. Then grab the
shot by bringing to the eye discreetly, fine-tuning focus, take the
shot, and camera goes back
to hanging off the shoulder.
I can't imagine how silly a book would look that explains these simple
steps :-)
Of course, we who need no stinkin' manual also need no stinkin' light
meter! But when we do, the
incident light meter hanging around the neck is useful. We
*definitely* don't need no stinkin'
batteries though, that's for sure.
Ah, the joy...
