...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.

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!")

Obviously not a one of you have a clue.The camera is the famous RITTROCK

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