Format:Hardcover
This book, though it appears expensive, offers excellent value in terms of its coverage and the depth into which explores all the topics, whilst not straying too deeply into mathematics so as to be intimidating. Where formulae are used they are explained systematically and clearly.
The book is aimed at photographers interested in large format photography (film sizes of 10cm squared, or above) providing a thorough grounding in optical and photographic theory & practice. The book would also benefit those seeking to broaden their knowledge of this area including students at first year undergraduate level. Serious amateurs who wish to learn about topics such as making sense of the charts provided by manufacturers of photographic film, which can be rather intimidating to non-professionals; or the differing image resolution of modern and older (classic) lenses or optics specifically designed (and priced accordingly) for digital sensors; will find this book informative.
