Gentlemen,
first let me congratulate once again for the politeness with which conversations are held on this forum. It is, so far, the very last that I still read with pleasure on occasion.
I am on an upgrade-do not upgrade debate with myself, and I understand that I need further readings on what it is available on the market, and side-by-side comparisons not (too much) affected by personal tastes or biased by "one-camera-men"'s opinions. I see that I can have the two following books shipped at my local bookstore:
View Camera Technique
Stroebel, Leslie D. ; Focal Press
Using the View Camera
Simmons, Steve ; Watson-Guptill Publications
As far as I recall from previous posts, the first is considered some sort of Bible, whose reading is recommended to everyone. Do I recall correctly? What about the second, though? I understand that Mr. Steve Simmons writes here now and then. Does anyone have the book? Is it some sort of beginner's guide, or does it have a HUGE section of side-by-side products review as well? Does it EXPAND some concept skipped by the first, or it is overwhelmed by the first instead?
Thanks a lot. Of course I would like to buy both, but unfortunately they're both not exactly cheap.
