Subject: Book on how to do your own printing ?

 

I want to do my own printing, from 35slr and medium format (6x7),

mostly black and white.

Is there a good book on how to do this and at the same time giving

advice on what equipment to use ? I am completely new at this, so I

need all the basics I can get.

Take a look at the Ansel Adams series. <i>The Print</i> would be the one you want. Also I recommend <i>The Negative</i>.

There is also another book called "Zone System for fine Black and White Photography" by a person named John P.Schaefer? Not sure if it's in print anymore, but a very fine book. The Ansel Adams series are my personal favorite. Good Luck!

Bartlett and Tarrant's "Black and White Photographer's Printing Workshop".

Another good book is "Exploring Black and White Photography" by Arnold Gassan and A.J. Meek, Brown and Benchmark Publishers. It gives a good over view and gets into considerable depth at the same time.

 

A. Adams three books, "The Camera", "The Negative" and "The Print" are the all time best. I reread "The Print" every two to three years to pick up something new that I was not ready to absorb on the previous readings.

Thanks all for excellent help.

You've made it a lot easier to

get the right book for the job !

Now all I need is more space, and that

is just arround the corner !
