 Absolute beginners book October 6, 2005
Serious photographer (New Zealand)
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this book because I was a serious 35mm amateur photographer who wanted to move into medium format because of the increased quality. I was totally ignorant of the basics of medium format, such as the difference between 120 and 220, so anything I read was helpful. I agree that this is a book for absolute beginners. If you are interested in camera models and history and want a book to add to your photographic library in this category, then you will find this book useful. I really wanted a book with more artistic content, such as extensive discussion of composition in various medium formats, especially 6x6, but was disappointed. In hindsight, I would not buy this book. One would be better to study books of photographs by outstanding medium format photographers in order to enhance understanding of the creative aspects of the medium.
 Very informative for a novice. September 7, 2001

I read this book because I wanted to move from 35mm to medium format but had no knowledge of or background in it. I really found this book to be helpful to me. It explained the very basics of medium format, cameras, TLR, accessories, metering, etc. very clearly and in terms I could understand. For someone who doesn't have a clue and wants to learn more it really is a great book to begin with. I agree that anyone with a working knowledge of medium format would look for something more advanced, but, for the novice it's perfect.

I've found the book is writen in a very simple terms. For beginers can be useful, but if you are not a beginer, you won't learn much thinks reading it. As a conclusion, if you want to buy a medium format camera and you don't know anything about it, you can buy this book, but if you are not a beginner, don't spend your money with this book.
