[Leica] LF

[jimbrick@photoaccess.com (Jim Brick)]

There is a revised edition of Steve Simmons book. Also, go to:

http://www.viewcamera.com/

and subscribe to View Camera Magazine. Great magazine. There are workshops
available as well. I began using a view camera in 1960. I stopped using it
in the 70's and 80's, but a few years ago bought a used Linhof Master
Technika and have been  immersed in LF (again) ever since. I'd be happy to
help and answer your questions... probably best via private email.
