4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, but slightly dated book about (view) cameras., 5 Feb 2002
By oftjugen@online.no (Bergen, Norway) - See all my reviews
Like its two companion volumes, "The Negative" and "The Print", "The Camera" is a thorough master-class in all aspects of the subject. The techniques used (and partly developed) by Ansel Adams are well worth learning for anyone who is serious about photography
These books may all be said to be slightly dated, as most photographers today e.g. don't mix their own developer from raw chemicals, but the basic techniques are still solid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ansel adams the camera 1985?? ed, 20 Aug 2009
Interesting book and very interesting to see how little has changed
Some great ideas in there and it makes you feel like this "photography thing" is at least as much art as science and probably significantly more of the former.
This particular Edition is badly produced with slanted type setting, and a weak spine. While the paper and shots look great it has the feel of a reasonably well produced university lab manual.

In terms of what I paid for it, my experience with the seller, the delivery and packaging, and the description of the text I have no complaints - however if you want a nice book for your collection - I'd look for a different edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars still definitive, 27 Nov 2009
By Robin Parmar - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Though dated, this is still the definitive book on how a camera operates and how to use one to best effect. Aspects of view (AKA technical) cameras will not be useful to most people on a day-to-day basis, but are still essential in understanding the geometry of taking a shot. This book covers what all the newer books on digital photography leave out. It provides all the basics without dumbing down the material to the point of uselessness. It is written in a clear and lucid style with excellent examples from Adams' own work. Truly an essential work for anyone interested in the timeless art of photography. (I don't give it five stars for some omissions which are, in fact, covered in the other two books of this series.)
