I wonder if you could actually use it without being stopped and/or arrested. Imagine loading film and pointing it at something or someone and the reaction people would have. But damn it would be cool to try it out.

I'm wondering if I put a pistol grip on my Graphic security guards will freak out when they see me pointing the camera at a building. Maybe a scope would help?
The small-format Photosnaiper looks bad enough… but this thing is serious heavy duty - I'd be curious to see what reactions are when you carry it around to shoot. Guess the first thoughts of bystanders would be something like "that looks like a gun that would like to be in disguise in a violin case but just couldn't be disguised well enough"…
Bets on how long I'd be allowed to use that on the subway here in Queens?
Imagine doing a local pickup as the winning bid and hand carrying it back on an airline
Really sir it is a camera. You just have to love the pistol grip.
If I had a bi-plane, I'd be all over that.
Theodor Scheimpflug would surely have some harsh words about the design of the camera and its problems with getting a good, sharp image.
I always loved the name "Gotar". It's either a character from a bad SF novel ("I am Gotar, destroyer of worlds!") or, well, a lens made from goats.
In reality, Goerz Gotar drives a taxi in Brooklyn.
