[Mark Woods]

Very cool.

[Brian C. Miller]

See the Lounge thread. That's a computer mock-up. The prototype is still pretty huge, though.

Have you see this (http://www.noise-to-signal.com/2006/02/dont_talk_to_me.html)? The lens is about the size of a wash tub

[Jim Jones]

The outfit came with two lenses made by Bausch and Lomb; one with a focal length of 10 or 11 feet and a wide angle with a focal length of merely 5.5 feet. The 500 lb. glass plates cost $150 each. That's large format.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I would call it ELF (extreme large format) but aren't elves small?

[Brian Vuillemenot]

Does Velvia come in 4X6.5 foot size?
