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.
it came in at 837.00
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.
In some focal lengths the Hypergon came in two versions, with or without fan. More coverage with the fan.

“You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?”
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?
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...

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.
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...

Can someone explain about the 'fan'.
Thanks
