the coolest ULF ultrawide camera

[Darin Cozine]

Someone just snagged what is probably the coolest ULF ultrawide camera ive seen.

here

It appears to be an 11x14 fixed focus with rise only and a goerz hypergon mounted on it. Does anyone have any info on the make of the camera?

Quality Camera got a great deal, I'd say. I was outbid at $550.

[michael Allen]

it came in at 837.00

[Dave Moeller]

The price seems pretty reasonable to me, given the rarity of the lens. The camera would be, for most of us, a throw-away. (Well, really, a display item.) But the lens is certainly worth a few bucks...imagine what the price would have been if the central fan had been in place.

[Michael Jones]

In some focal lengths the Hypergon came in two versions, with or without fan. More coverage with the fan.

As a complete "idiot" when it comes to such lenses - I checked the pics and it does look a bit "rough"??? How much would the new owner need to put by to get it cleaned up etc?

[Mark Sawyer]

The 75mm Hypergon with a fan covers 8x10; the one without (which is on this camera) was less, as Michael said. I'd be very surprised if it came close to covering 1x14, but it may be a wonderful effect with the edges slowly fading to black.

I have a 75mm Hypergon with the fan on an 8x10, and it's by far the most persnickity lens I've ever used. But there's nothing else like it...

[Mark Sampson]

Mr. Sawyer, can you please show us any photographs made with this legendary lens? I think of 75mm as wide on 4x5. And "persnickity", I can believe that.

[Mark Sawyer]

I'll post one or two scans here (or is a new thread better?), but it may be a few days; I'm technologically disadvantaged...

("Mr. Sawyer?" You sound like one of my high school students!)

[Mark Carney]

Can someone explain about the 'fan'.

Thanks

Mark
