Features: The charm of medium-format photography lies not only in the technical advantages brought by its larger image format specifications. Using medium-format cameras and film photography can overcome the discomfort photographers may feel due to the modern high-tech electronic technology and automation functions of small-format cameras. At the same time, choosing this mature photographic system directly influences the fundamental purpose of photography—photos. There are indeed questions in the process of selecting medium format, and it is almost impossible to find answers in existing literature. The Medium Format Photography book will fill this gap. This book is highly professional yet written in a clear and easy-to-understand style, introducing various common image format specifications, films, different types of cameras, lenses, and other accessories. The latter part of the book will introduce the traditional shooting range of medium-format cameras and point out under what circumstances and how to use which camera to achieve the best results. It covers an overview of professional photography and also addresses the handling of film and photo presentation. The Medium Format Photography is not a book for beginners. Adrian Bill Silverman dedicates this comprehensive book to experienced amateur enthusiasts, professionals, and independent practitioners, hoping to assist them in their struggles to explore both the technical and artistic aspects of medium-format photography.
