Is this book worth buying?
It seems to be scarce, and VERY expensive for a book.
I guess it is more of a collectable, than a resource?
I do not know the contents.

This went through almost annual revisions because it was keyed to the equipment being sold at the time. The Broncolor flash info was updated more often than the camera data. I probably have a couple of copies buried somewhere. I don't know why
anyone would actually need one - half promo/half technique. What is generally more
useful is the "Sinar Code", which was the illustrated equipment catalog with part numbers - helpful when shopping for used gear.
Thank you VERY much for this information!
Worth buying? Definitely no.
Worth having (gift, inheritance, etc.)? No.
I have the 1974 edition. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was too much.
When I think of a "System Handbook" I think of Wildi's excellent Hasselblad series.
Those books present tons of useful information.
The Sinar book is just an advertisement with some basic view camera movements.
