This gives ULF a new meaning!

And I thought my 7x17 was big. Get a load of this monster "ULF"!

Wonder what his reserve price is...

[BrianShaw]

Incredible!

[Don Sparks]

That's just a process camera used in the graphic industry before computers days. Most screen printing and offset printing shops either end up junking them or giving them away. My business gave one away several years ago.

The only thing worth of selling is the lens.

And look at his feedback

[Walter Calahan]

I used one of these in high school to make line-shots and half-tones for my school's weekly newspaper.

[Ernest Purdum]

They came much larger than this. Lockheed had one which you walked inside of in order to load the film. It was used primarily to make templates for cutting aircraft parts. Aircraft parts come in large sizes.

Another interesting camera family, smaller than these yet massive, were those used to photograph the original artwork for integrated circuits. I remember one "monorail" in which the rail was a beam of granite about 10' X 12" in cross-section. The whole camera was sitting on huge antivibration mounts.

I have always thought they must have forgotten to put the lens on the camera when taking this shot, and had to retouch it into existence later.

[Lee Hamiel]

This is what to drive to get there ...

[Darren Kruger]

that's not a large lens.

now that's a large lens.

[Brian Ellis]

If he'd pay me maybe a thousand dollars I'd haul it away for him.

Its not the size - its how you use it.

[Andrew O'Neill]

Nice try, Tim. That really is a small 4x5 camera surrounded by lepricons.
