The Medium Format Advantage
The medium format is truly the format in the middle. It combines many of the  benefits of 35 mm photography with those of the large format, making a medium format  system an excellent choice for almost all types of photography from candid action with a  hand-held camera to critical studio work from a tripod. Special chapters are devoted to  these different applications and the type of equipment that most likely meets your  photography needs. This book explains clearly the medium format's benefits, advantages,  and disadvantages and provides a comparison of the medium format to other formats so you  can decide whether it is right for you and your photography.
