5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative for a novice.,
By Linda Bianucci (Mantua, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medium Format Cameras: Users Guide to Buying and Shooting (Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
a book for beginers in medium format,
This review is from: Medium Format Cameras: Users Guide to Buying and Shooting (Paperback)
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.
