The beauty is having the possibility to provide detail beyond what the unaided eye can see stands as the ultimate goal.

The very basic task of creating an image on a multitude of levels becomes a challenge. Accompanying the flexibility that comes with operating the view camera is an increased margin for error. The worst of which is the beginner’s tendency to under-use these capabilities and treat the apparatus as though it was a fixed 35mm or medium format camera. Point. Focus. Shoot. What a waste of a brilliantly versatile instrument. Yet, the results can be still quite amazing. The image detail never ceases to disappoint.
