Mobile edition
Redesigned for your phone.
This is not the A4 guide reduced until the type becomes tiny. The 13-page mobile edition was rebuilt around a narrow screen, with shorter reading paths, clear hierarchy, and references made to use while you are out shooting.
Print edition
Clean on paper, practical in the field.
The 15-page A4 edition uses a white, print-friendly layout for reading, highlighting, and keeping near your camera gear.
Print one page at 100% / Actual Size.
The 35mm and 6×7 physical negative comparison is designed at real scale. Disable “Fit to Page” for that reference.
