Well, there's lots of free information about LF on the main page of lfphoto.info and in the Q&A forum there, as well as on APUG.

For less than the price of a box of film, you might get Steve Simmons' _Using the View Camera_ as and introduction, and then Stroebel's _View Camera Technique_ for a more thorough treatment.

Don't forget http://www.trenholm.org/hmmerk/ for technical treatises on this, that and the other. Best value for money there is.

Not sure where you are from or your language, but you might want to click the "Regional" tab above and see if there is a forum that is easier to read. Otherwise, take your time, everyone is willing to help where they can.

[but my problem is English language, i!

Please tell us your native language. Perhaps others who speak that language will know some information that can help.

I´m from Madrid, Spain. Here there are a few information, specializing shops included, of LF photography. I studied the sinar handbook, because my first lf camera was a sinar for my comercial photograph job, but i need more LF literature, information, contacs, history, tecnics of field cameras and process in darkroom with sheets, because that it is something relatively new for me... Your information is very valuable for me. Thans!

Best Regards

Ruben

Hello Ruben !
If you've got the Sinar large format course (the one which ask you to make exercises and make a book with the results of your experiment) you won't learn anything new elsewhere, IMHO.
Sinar has been and still his, one of the most prominent actor of this business, so what you learn with them is quite universal....

really, the sinar curse is very complete, but for industrial and comercial photography. Now i have a field LF camera, without less movenents like sinar and i shot B&W sheet,(previously i was working with color slide film). I think that I have to learn very much in this aspect, this way like to know others LF methods and photographers,to get into the world of this type of photography...:confused::confused::confused: Thank you!
