EF Lens Work II is a $23 book on the Canon EOS EF lens system that is published by Canon. It is
actually quite informative and well done. It is approximately half an inch thick. I received my copy
yesterday, and I would recommend it to anyone who is seriously interested in the EOS lens system. You
can get a copy by calling Canon at 1-800-828-4040. B&H used to sell the previous edition (EF Lens
Work), so they may carry EF Lens Work II also. The books were just shipped from the printer to Canon
last week, so it may be a while before there are stocks at B&H.

There are two books and a magazine which may be valuable to those who love photography. 1. 40 Years
of Photography by Jeanloup Sieff - All BW photos. Look the way he uses his 21mm Leica M lens. 2.
Looking Back by Todd Wedd - All BW photos. I like his writing style, clear and straightforward. 3. W -
A lillte bit more than a fashion magazine. I like their non studio photos. Thank you for your attention.

I recently read Capturing the Landscape With Your Camera, by Patricia Caulfield. Being a seroius
amatuer photographer, this book really helped me with composition, technical aspects, lenses and
cameras, light basics and exposures, and general field work. It provided me with easy to read, helpful
information about my most favorite hobby. The author gives you the technical information first, and
then sums it up right away with examples. Also, almost every picture tells you what settings were used
and about the area where it was taken. This would be a great book for serious amatuers to read.

Photo Techniques (formerly darkroom something or other) is one helluva nice rather technically based
magazine. It also has a few very good writers. unfortunately they don't have a web site so if you want to
check them out good luck. ;-)

How Do You Photograph People, by Leigh Wiener (published 1982).
Here is a book I enjoyed thoroughly, and I'd just like to pass on my recommendation. No idea whether
it's still in print -- I took it out of the library.
It is not a how-to book like most others.
Wiener's format consists of short responses to photography questions posed by famous people he has
