...and can you still get the birds that hide inside and use their beaks to chisel the image onto a stone tablet?

I'm not sure about the camera, but I'm pretty sure that lens is pre-war and uncoated.
Polorock, I'm pretty sure

The artist probably used the original Zone I camera as a model, since the picture was drawn long before the Zone VI series came along.
However, that's a pretty good likeness of Fred Picker(or is it Ron Wisner?).

Well, I'll be!
You're right William. It's a darned good likeness of Frank.

I'm thinking that it's just gotta be the Littleman-Polarock conversion because--as everyone surely knows by now--William thought of it first.
(Here Fred demonstrates "You close your eyes, and we do the rest!")

Or perhaps it is the long defunct hand held "Granite View"?
