This review is from: Arriflex 16SR Book, Third Edition (Paperback)

This book is the bible on the 16SR camera system. It has everything you could want to know about this camera system. If you ever work on a music vide, comercial or low budget film this book is the best piece of equipment to have in your ac bag. It tells you how to do every thing from loading too trouble shooting it when something goes wrong.
