Hmmmm .... no disrespect but I've got one.

Hi Hank and thank you,

I have one of those in my hand so I'm not certain it's the one you're talking about. It's by Bert Sirkin.

To be fair, there was a tremendous amount of effort to place all that information on both halves of a sheet of paper (laminated). However, I'm embarrassed to admit that I've picked it up and put it back down with frustration more times than I care to admit.

I may changed my mind but I really like the user guide, 196 pages -- the one I downloaded and which is the subject of this post. I think if I have a spline-bound printed version in my camera case it will suit my needs somewhat better. It has a good table of contents and is well-indexed to key words. Plus, the tables on pp 182-186 are indispensable. I'm thinking of having several copies of those in my bag in order to quickly return to favorites of my own for various situations.
