I not sure I even need it, but was / is there a manual for the unit?

Ken, check your email.

Here ya go. This is a free down load of the instructions and also the code book. I believe the Code book shows every piece for Sinar system at that time.

BTW- You would figure most things out on your own but it can't hurt to have this info on file.

Louis, the files on the Butkus site are catalogs, not instruction manuals (except for the shutter manual). Still good to have, of course. But they don't, for example, explain how to use the markings on the ground glass for tilt controls, not that I ever really found that more useful than my old way of working.

I don't remember where I got my instruction manual--maybe somebody sent it to me. I can't find it online in any case.

thanks Rick!
Nice links Louis.

The ground glass markings only apply to cameras with asymmetric rear tilt/swing, i.e the P, X, and C series.

On F-series cameras those marks are just marks, with no functional significance.

The manual will tell you how to use the depth-of-field indicator.
I (and others) can provide those instructions if you can't find a manual.
It's easier to understand when you have the illustrations of the feature in use.

I dunno. In the manual, it sure provides a procedure that uses those marks for the F-series cameras. And those markings sure enough appear on the screen supplied with an F-series camera.

OK. I stand corrected. Sorry for the mis-information.

Oh, oh, could you PLEASE send me this manual also?
I just got my f2 kit, and have downloaded all I could find, but as was pointed out here, it is NOT the instruction manual.
Heh, last night, I FINALLY DID get it all assembled, AFTER discovering that the bellows does NOT flush mount entirely all the way around?
Or does it? I will have to take pics and show what I see...

PM me on Friday. I have limited bandwidth, and it's a 10MB attachment.
