Title: Large-Format Photography (Kodak Publication, No. O-18E.) by Roger Vail, Eastman Kodak Company, James A. McDonald, Kodak ISBN: 0879857714 Publisher: Saunders Photo Pub. Date: March, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5

Summary: Not much information
Comment: Information on large format photography is not easily available. Good books are hard to find. I bought this book for the Kodak brand name associated with it. I am pretty disappointed.
The book gives you a rough idea about movements. Then it veers off to some very technical issues, in much more details than most photographers ever care to know. I am still looking for a book that will tell me the about various models available in the market, practial tips, various lenses I'd need for architecture and product shots, about using 6x9 or 6x12 backs with a 4x5 camera and so on.
Also, not a single colour photograph. Not good.

Summary: Great if you're new to photography, but...
Comment: ... too much of the book was dedicated to general photographic concepts (exposure, filtration, etc.) rather than specifically large format photography. As I've been shooting 35mm & MF stuff for years, I'm already acquainted with Photography 101 and was looking for a comprehensive reference specifically for LF photography.
If you're an experienced photographer looking for a book specifically for LF, consider passing on this one. If you're just getting into photography in general and LF photography in particular, this book would be outstanding!
Rating: 4
Summary: Great work
Comment: This is a classic work and a great refernce manual for anybody who is serious about learning the view camera. It may not be as comprehensive as some books, but it is all the more accessible for it and it covers all the basic techniques.
Highly recommended.
