Zone System

It is a great pity that this superb book has presently gone out of print. It covers most aspects of black and white photography in an easily understood fashion. It is by far one of the best books I have read on photography and explains in simple English the sometimes complicated process of applying the Zone System to the genre. The author has a knack of crystalising and simplifying the sometimes involved methods of applying the Zone System formalised by his mentor, the great black and white photographer Ansel Adams. Well worth the search and price of a second hand copy!
