    I don't want the thing unless I can mount one of the .7 Zeiss lenses that Kubrick used to shoot some scenes in Barry Lyndon.

    That can be arranged! Keep in mind the image circle is about 24mm, so there will be some vignetting.

    Cool! Handholding at .7 has got to be a bear, though. Please include some tips on how to get the best image quality out of this combination.

    I recommend hiring a quality Steadicam operator to hold the camera. That way they can take care of framing too.

    Good luck to the Steadicam operator at that depth of field. I assume you've seen the card playing scene in Barry Lyndon where the actors aren't moving a millimeter.

    I liked how someone on photo.net took your concept to task because the shutter on an old lens like the Angulon might fail. I'm sure we all have other cameras to shoot if we suffer a shutter tragedy with our $150 Angulons. It's cheap fun. The world needs more cheap fun.

    It would be ironic to have to attach weights to this camera to make it heavy enough to use.

    I think you could mod the Travelwide for a 90mm 5.6 with a heat gun and a tennis ball.

    I had that thought. I have another idea for a KickStarter project. How about a helium balloon suspension system for the Speed Graphic and other heavy cameras? Might be a little impractical due to getting caught in tree branches and wrapped around poles. Just an idea.
