View Camera Books, Ratings
Hi All
This is a large request to make. If you feel like doing it & have the time, I would appreciate it very much if you would participate in my pole: Most of the participants of this News Group have probably read at least one book about view cameras. This being election time ‘an all, I'd like to take a pole. How do you rate the View Camera book(s) you have read? Please rate as many books as you want on a scale of 1 to 5. Whether it's in print or not doesn't matter, neither does price. I've started it off with some I'm aware of, please feel free to add as many as you like. You don't really have to name the author, but I'd really like to see a rating. You can use the same rating # more that once. I'm doing this to help me save $$$ & time. (Also, please, no exclusively darkroom or film books. Just from the ground glass forward.) Thank You So Much, John TITLE AUTHOR RATING 1 TO 5 COMMENTS Using the View Camera Steve Simmons View camera technique, 7th Edition Leslie Stroebel User's Guide to the View Camera 2nd Ed Jim Stone Professional Interior Photography 3rd Ed Michael Harris Professional Architectural Photography Michael Harris Photographing Buildings Inside & Out Norman McGrath Large Format Nature Photography Jack W. Dykinga Cerative Large Format Sinar Edition Urs Tillmanns 2 Too much Sinar sales propaganda!

What's the purpose of your poll?
I wouldn't consider books like McGrath's Photographing Buildings a 'view camera' book. It's not about view cameras or view camera technique, but architecture and lighting.

(Also, please, no exclusively darkroom or film books. Just from the ground glass forward.) Thank You So Much, John These books have different purposes so I don't think a numerical rating makes sense. You can't compare them to one another. TITLE AUTHOR RATING 1 TO 5 COMMENTS Using the View Camera Steve Simmons A good introduction View camera technique, 7th Edition Leslie Stroebel Encyclopedic and the standard reference User's Guide to the View Camera 2nd Ed Jim Stone Not quite as encylcopedic as but contains a lot of useful information, some not in other books. Professional Interior Photography 3rd Ed Michael Harris Don't know it Professional Architectural Photography Michael Harris Don't know it Photographing Buildings Inside & Out Norman McGrath A good general introdution to architectural photography, but I wish it talked more about basic principles. Large Format Nature Photography Jack W. Dykinga Exceelent introduction to large format nature photography which also provides lots of insight about view camera use in general.
