A users guide to the view cameraBy tboneThis is an older book which is out of print but the information in it is good. I recently purchased a view camera on Craigslist and although Ive been in photography for 50 years I was a little rusty when it came to view cameras. I would recommend this book to anyone who wasnt sure on how to use their view camera.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good. and bad.By Ethe content of this book is great. Very helpful and descriptive. and not too dry. I docked a star because this book is very pricey. and the inside of the book is all black and white and seems to be printed on lightweight paper. Some pages in mine were even faded. as if the printer had been running out of ink/toner.
