I have two of their copied manuals and they are well done - sharp, clean,
properly sized and folded or bound. B&W, of course. Delivery has always been
prompt, too.

I suggest to the OP that he go to eBay and find one for sale, then contact
the seller. I don't know if his online list of manuals is current. It never
hurts to ask.

If that fails, I do have his direct email address. Somewhere.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I hate to ask the obvious, but have you checked with SinarBron? Some
years ago, the local Sinar rep came up with a free printed users manual
for one of my used cameras. He even stopped by my studio and dropped it
off when it arrived. And, no, I was never a big account. It was just
thoughtful service.

The company's parts department has also been helpful to me in the past,
when I had need to buy an odd item or two.

You can sometimes find "The Sinar System Handbook" at a used book store
or camera swap meet. I think that's where I found my current copy.

Good luck. ...pt

I checked out photobooksonline and they do have the Sinar F for $10, but
there is the same thing on ebay for $2.
I did bookmark this site, lots of good info. thanks

I found THE LARGE FORMAT - Handbook of the SINAR SYSTEM on ebay, but it's
going for $48 and the auction still has over a day to go. This does look
like what I am after. Went to this site <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.sinarbron.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sinarbron.com/</a> and did
not find what I want, but could be looking in the wrong place. I will email
them and see what they say.
Thank you,
Glenn

The handbook essentially covered the entire system at the time, along
with the various far-flung accessories, and how to use things together.
It would make a useful supplement to a camera's users manual. But not
for forty-eight bucks; yikes! I think I paid $5.00 for my used copy.

At one point, I believe SinarBron had some instructional materials
online. But they were gone the last time I looked. The international
Sinar site (http://www.sinar.ch/sinar/default.htm) has some basic
background info online, but I haven't seen any manuals. It never hurts
to e-mail the distributor in your country and see what they might have
available.

From your other posts, it seems like you've now found a number of
possibilities. So you should be all set.

Good luck. ...pt
