I read it like Frank, hence my claim it would be way larger than 40 Mp when digitised...

It's a shame the media have to put such a hyper-spin on everydamnthing.
His photos are great, the cameras are interesting and he made them himself, but that isn't enough....
2" x 3" is "Giant" ?? I thought you guys wanted to kick out all the 6x9cm LF wannabes :) :)
Give me a break- medium format is considered extreme? And how is a single "shot" costing $35, unless this guy takes three or four rolls of each "shot"?
Extreme conditions, like -50F. At night. For weeks. That's pretty extreme. (of course, now you're going to top that with wintering at the south pole, photographing inside Santa's other workshop, dodging murderous elves with night vision, zombie penguins with alien death ray guns, and after that about your side job at the Nevada nuke testing and how much suntan lotion you had to wear, yadda yadda yadda.)
As for the reference to "giant," that 6x9 camera is about the size of a 4x5, and probably weighs at least twice as much as my Toyo 45AX. Remember, the only camera size reference the reporter had was an iPhone.
I give kudos to him for constructing such a neat camera! And his other camera is a 4x5. (The lens kind of looks like a Pentax 6x7 35mm, but I'm not sure.)
