First published in 1967 and revised through multiple impressions, View Camera Technique is widely regarded as one of the definitive technical manuals on large-format photography. Leslie Stroebel, long associated with the Rochester Institute of Technology, combines optical theory, camera movements, lens behavior, and practical application in a rigorous yet highly usable reference for professional and advanced amateur photographers. This Third Edition, Revised (1976) reflects updates across equipment, optics, and technique, with extensive diagrams, photographic examples, and a comprehensive index. The book was issued simultaneously for the U.S. and UK markets by Focal Press, a specialist publisher known for high-level photographic and cinematographic texts. Notably, this copy bears the publisher's 'Net Book' statement, indicating sale under the UK Net Book Agreement, which prohibited discounting and underscored the book's status as a professional reference rather than a mass-market title. The original $21.95 stamped retail price - a substantial sum in the mid-1970s - further confirms its intended institutional and professional audience. A well-preserved example of a cornerstone text in large-format photography. Leslie Stroebel (1921-2002) was a photographer, educator, and longtime professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he played a major role in shaping photographic education in the United States. He authored several influential textbooks for Focal Press, including Basic Photography and Advanced Photography, which became standard references in academic and professional settings. Stroebel's work is especially valued for its clarity in explaining complex optical and technical concepts.
