Yes, indeed. Now, if only someone could publish a cumulative index of all of those articles from View Camera so we might locate articles of eternal value. . . .
Sorry to read that View Camera has ceased publication, but it had a long run and there is a lot of interesting information in the many articles published over the years. Hopefully all of that can be digitized by Steve, and perhaps offered on disk. I subscribed to View Camera for nearly all of it existence but in the interest of space sold my collection several years go.
My thanks to Steve for giving me the opportunity to publish some of my writings and work in the magazine. Especially the article on two-bath development because the work I did for that article significantly enriched my own understanding of some of the parameters of film development.

For those of us coming (back) to large format late to the game, here's hoping that the articles can be digitized so valuable information and experience isn't lost.
sounds like a kick starter...
anyone want to volunteer their collection?
I'd probably have fun with such a project.

ted, you are sorely missed RIP
I have cut my subscriptions wayy back, but this is one that I held onto. I truly enjoyed the magazine, even with some of the quirks that occurred. There was certainly some valuable information being passed along in that magazine.
I guess I'll just have to start collecting back issues now.

As a subscriber since the first edition, I am sad to see View Camera go. At the same time, we in this forum should recognize that the LFPF is now the only large-format dedicated information and inspiration source remaining. My collection of View Camera copies now sits next to my collection of Fred Picker's Zone VI newsletters, sort of the death of print large format info. Sadly, the king is dead, but long live the new (internet based LFPF) king!
Definitely was one of the few must see magazines at B/N. I will miss it.
If all that was done was that people looked at in in B/N then that, in itself, goes a long way to contributing to the demise of the magazine and the store. B/N was a business, just like the magazine, and they needed sales, not just lookers.
