Here is what people are saying about the Using the View Camera
5 Star Rating  "Great For beginners"2009-06-08
- Reviewed By Deepak Kumar from New Delhi, India
This is simply the best book for all beginners and intermediate, as this discuss all techniques needed to get you going in Large format photography.

You will need more information after quite some time. I have this for a year but still not in a hurry to reach next level by purchasing View Camera technique by Leslie Stroebel.

Every beginner must read it.
 
5 Star Rating  "Awesome intro, thorough coverage of basic camera movements and good examples"2008-11-09
- Reviewed By Keith M. Anderson from Moss Beach, CA United States
I used this to get me started using my first view camera. I've also read several others, including Ansel Adam's "The Camera" and Jack Dykinga's "Large Format Nature Photography." While the others are outstanding, they have different a focus than this one, which in my opinion, homes right in on the meat of what you'll need to get started.

Simmons, in this book, is much better at simplifying and going through the fundamental movements showing images to accompany each description of the movements. It also covers basics such as different types of cameras (monorail, field, view), lenses, lensboards, shutters, etc. The only problem I see is the types of film discussed is a little dated since the film market has changed since the publication of the book. Otherwise, it covers everything you need to get started and makes a decent reference after that.

It's also more straightforward than the other books mentioned. Ansel Adam's book on "The Camera" is more of an overview of 35mm, medium format, large format, and covers reasonable detail on each, but does not get as thorough on LF cameras, so frankly I found his description of rise/fall and tilt/shift rather confusing. Dykinga's book is also fantastic but focuses (as the title implies) on specifics for landscape photographers and thus skirts over the fundamentals a bit too much.

I give this book 5 stars for doing what it's intended to do, and does it very well. That said, if you're looking for something that goes well beyond the fundamentals, this one isn't for you.

I'm glad that I bought this book. The other large format book that I own isn't this informative, this book clearly explains everything. A great buy.

I found this very helpful being old to photography but new to large format. Illustrations are excellent as well.
 
4 Star Rating  "Goodle"2008-05-09

A very nice introduction to large format. Gives more then a few a-ha moments that I needed badly after reading The Camera. Good to have around while starting your LF journey :-)
 
4 Star Rating  "View Camera - A guide to Photographic art"2007-05-17
- Reviewed By Silverquill from Nampa, Idaho
I thought this book was just about excellent in its thoroughness for informing the reader how view cameras work. There are lots of photographs displayed as examples of what the author is discussing at the time. This book is excellent for those either just getting into view camera photography, or, like me, interested in moving into that area of the art. I am a digital photographer, and have been since the early days of digital, but have been drawn to medium and large format work because of their reliance upon the shooter's eye and the absolute skill required of the shooter. Anyone can point and shoot a picture, but it takes intimate knowledge of the camera's capabilities and the patience to move the photograph from the mind's eye to the camera's eye. The quality of large format is unsurpassed, and ught to be around for a long time. Kudo's for the author for this instructional, yet inspirational book on view camera photography.
