Summary: Best source for camera specs
Review: Because it hasn't been updated Professional Cameraman's Handbook is missing some newer equipment, but it is the best source for information for pre-1994 camera equipment. I'll buy the 5th edition as soon as it is available.

Summary: EXCELLENT ,BRILLIANT AND A REAL HELP
Review: I have bought this book in 1995 and it was a real help for me.I live in greece and most of the times d.o.p. stands as a camera operator too.I have made lot's of films since then but there was two of them with second-hand 16 mm Eclair bought from two old filmakers.(no operators manual in it and i have never heard this machines before!).As cinematographers know, many things depend of the expirience someone have on specific equipment that is using.this cameras was one Npr and one Acl (S16patend).My assistand get scared when he saw the Acl!! I JUST GIVE HIM THE BOOK AND EVERYTHING GO PERFECT!! THE AUTHOR IS A REAL PRO AND WE GET TOO THRU HIS KNOWLEDGE.THANK YOU.
