Ansel Adams (1902-1984) produced some of the 20th century's most iconic photographic images and helped nurture the art of photography through his creative innovations and peerless technical mastery.

Along with visualization, image management, Adams' famous Zone System, and other keys to photographic artistry, The Camera covers 35mm, medium-format, and large-format view cameras, while offering detailed advice on camera components such as lenses, shutters, and light meters. Beautifully illustrated with photographs as well as instructive line drawings, this classic manual belongs on every serious photographer's bookshelf. "Adams is a clear-thinking writer whose concepts cannot but help the serious photographer." - New York Times "A master-class kind of guide from an undisputed master." - Publishers Weekly Over 1 million copies sold.

this is a great book! The author captures all the technical aspects of cameras and leaves out the 'creative' aspects to you. This separation is done amazingly well - it actually gives you a deep insight into the process of photography.
A must read for anyone into photography.

A Must
If you're deciding on using a film format camera, this is the first of Ansel Adams' series you should get. If you intend on developing your on film and prints get the "Print" and " Negative" as well. The other two in the series has to do with natural and artificial light. I would also recommend getting another book explaining the Zone VI technique as well. Fred Picker's book, "The Zone VI Workshop", is one that comes to mind.
