"[H]aving read it from cover to cover, I will hereby be officially
recommending a copy of this book to every film photographer that I
meet....It says on the cover "Reference manual for shooting film,"
and it most certainly is. The layout is easily accessible and
engaging, with cross references on every page, a comprehensive
index, and handy charts right at the back. The contents cover
everything: from information about exposure and filters, to
fundamental camera function, and beyond!"
- Film Shooters Collective
"A book on photography with no color, not even inserts, is a design
challenge that Andrew tackles brilliantly. His schematic
illustrations are clear and easy to understand. I found the
concepts to be visually explained better than many full-color
diagrams found online and in print....There's no shortage of
information on exposure, focus, and shutter speed. Camera
illustrations along with definitions are simple and easy to
understand; practically all knowledge is actionable and is a
must-have for any serious photographer."
- Analog.Cafe
"An absolute treat for anyone whose interests land at the
intersection of cameras and design."
- Casual Photophile
"This is a book about the beauty of analog photography and a
celebration of all these breathtaking, magical cameras. It will
connect these devices with a new generation of photographers,
helping them not only fall in love with [their cameras] bust start
using them again, with passion."
- Florian Kaps, founder, Polaroid Originals
"Those intrigued by old-school photography have a special problem
(as though finding a place to develop film weren't
enough)-obtaining instructional guides that are not faded, rumpled,
or filled with grainy images. With diagrams and closeup shots on
camera parts, this reference book is clear, concise, and
delightful."
