I’m looking for sources of service manuals for camera lenses, especially older manual-focus lenses but also newer ones if available. Aside from a general Google search, are there any known websites or archives that host lens service manuals?

You can find lens service manuals on the following sites:

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A couple of well-known places to check are:
- Camera Manual Library (butkus.org / butkus.us)
- Boggy’s Web Site, which has some manuals for brands such as Kiron, Vivitar, and Panagor
For older third-party and manual-focus lenses, enthusiast archives and specialty manual sites are often the best source. Availability for newer lenses is usually much more limited, since manufacturers often don’t release full service documentation publicly.
