GOOD FIRST BOOK
I'M TAKING MUCH BETTER PICTURES WITH MY NIKON FM2 THANKS TO THIS BOOK. ALSO I CAN NOW SELECT THE BEST LENSES TO USE WITH THE FM2. OH AND I THINK HIS OLD LADY AND KIDS ARE VERY CUTE.

Worth 10x the price
Photography plays a big part in my profession.
Though I have always been complemented on my photography, this book has taken my images from "great shot" to "brilliant photo".

I would say that this book, single handedly, has made for the best improvements in my photography to date.

If you are serious about your images, you won't be disappointed!

Not as impressed as most people, I guess.
Maybe I should have gotten this book first thing, but I just don't see the big deal about this book, It was somewhat informative, but really not much I hadn't already read online or in other books. It doesn't have any of those ah-ha moments or anything that just makes exposure 'click'. Since this book was recommended to me, I thought there might be some valuable info that I have been missing in order to get that perfect exposure and it just wasn't in there.

I think this book is probably ok for your first photography learning tool, but if you have read other book and online through forums and such, you probably already know everthing this book has to offer.
