Special chapters are devoted to these different applications and the type of equipment that most likely meets your photography needs. This book explains clearly the medium format's benefits, advantages, and disadvantages and provides a comparison of the medium format to other formats so you can decide whether it is right for you and your photography. *The definitive book on medium format, cameras and technique, the most commonly used format of commercial photography *New material on panoramic format, apochromatic lenses, aspheric lenses, tele extenders, glass and relative illumination, and motor drives *Updated information on perspective control, tilt controls, built in metering systems, and use of apertures |
