The Medium Format Advantage clearly explains the advantages and capabilities of medium-format cameras and examines all aspects of medium-format camera operations, including SLR, twin lens, panoramic, rangefinder, wide angle, press, and view cameras. Also explained and illustrated are lenses and their accessories, motor drives, films, flashes, filters, slides and slide projectors, and more. Ernst Wildi is Technical Director of Victor Hasselblad, Inc. He is the author of The Hasselblad Manual and has published more than 200 articles in amateur and professional photography magazines. He lives in Fairfield, New Jersey.
I am a big Ernst Wildi fan! That said, some observations should be noted: Wildi writes lucidly, logically, and tries to teach the reader in every one of his works. His photography is excellent and he really does not hide the fact he is a Hasselblad guru! Perhaps, he assumes that some of his points that are written and diagrammed to demonstrate, are obvious to all readers, and does not go into great depth. Yes, I got it! People wanting more from Ernst on techniques should check out his book, "Achieving the Ultimate Image." These 2 works could have been combined into one; re-titled "The Ultimate Image in Medium Format" or similar.
