Using the View Camera: A creative guide to large format photography

This book is any photographer's guide to making the switch from a hand-held camera to a view camera--so now there's no excuse for failing to take the plunge! Extremely comprehensive, the guide includes information on the camera itself, how to operate it, and how to process the film. This revised edition has the latest information on new color and black-and-white films, reciprocity corrections, lens design, an improved explanation of the Scheimpflug rule, new information about odd size formats including 5x7, 12x20, 8x20, alternative processes, and much more.
