The Use of Historic Lenses in Contemporary Photography

[r.e.]

This afternoon I downloaded the iBook sample (first 24 pages) and then the whole book. It is clearly written and nicely melds the historical, technical and practical. I don't know what experts will think, but as someone who is not well versed on historic lenses, I am impressed. Nice to come across a book on the subject that holds my attention/doesn't make my eyes glaze over.

Exactly! The extracts are very easily read and the layout and combination of pictures/text help retain interest. Of course, we would have liked more - but what he does write seems flawless.

If anyone knows where a hard copy of this book might be available, please let me know. There's no mention of it on the Robert White site, and only digital downloads available on the web.

Perhaps India Print on Demand

I have bought several old USA Army Photography tomes printed and delivered to USA very cheaply
