Well, Bill. World largest CMOS sensor is 202x205mm:

So, I think, you either present scan from your Guinness book certificate

You might want to get with the times. The article you linked is over four years old and larger sensors have been made since then. Example: http://www.digitaltrends.com/photogr...e-cmos-sensor/

It's not too hard to imagine that an entrepreneurial person could source something like this.

Interesting article. The size of the sensor is 8x10ish, and it could be the one use by Bill Christian, although on the picture accompanying the article it looks more like a rather extreme panoramic format. The claimed 10 pictures per second sound amazing. Here's to sports photography with view cameras!

That article is a misprint. That sensor is actually 165mm x 27.5mm. It appears to be very good in noise and readout compared to others.

Used up a ten sheet box of Fuji Pro160s 4x5 and had Praus develop it. I mostly stick to B&W, but I am easily awed by some color with the aero ektar + LF, so I tried my hand.

Here's one with my pre-anniversary speed graphic, aero ektar.

Testing out the new lights. This is with just a single light with a softbox. Initially I said I will use B&W film to test, then I said may be I will use color film, but a complaint went up: "I put on makeup for B&W photos..." well, I wasn't aware that there are B&W suitable makeup vs. color suitable makeup, but OKay....
