About this title

Synopsis

For courses in Large-Format Photography, Zone System, Studio Lighting, Portraiture, Commercial or Industrial Photography, or any advanced course in professional or artistic photography. This book introduces photographers to the use of any camera with large-format film and to the operation of any camera with a separately adjustable back or front. Written in an accessible yet practical style, the text clearly presents the subject matter through captions, vivid drawings, illustrative photographs, and its detailed narrative. Updated to take account of new electronic and digital cameras, the Third Edition serves as a practical guide with basic suggestions for operation and maintenance as well as useful information on camera components.

From the Back Cover

A User's Guide to the View Camera, Third Edition continues the tradition of offering a practical guide to the professional photographer's ultimate tool: the large-format camera system.

Written in the clear, accessible style that is Jim Stone's hallmark, this text features careful presentation of the unusual features and advantages of large-format and view cameras, practical suggestions for operation and maintenance, and helpful, well-illustrated discussions of processes and components, including film systems, lenses, and accessories.

The new edition features new material on digital accessories for large-format photography, including information about view cameras purpose-built for digital use. New illustrations by contemporary photographers update the standard reference on large-format cameras for the new millennium.
