What is this giant yellow beast?

Does anybody know what the difference between the "A" and "B" model is for the 100mm/f8 Lamegon?

No I haven't used it. Its one of those projects for the time I'm able to slow down....
Some pics to wet your appetite are attached. Yes, it has the electric shutter (1s-1/400s, T, B), you can see the wires in one picture, connected to a PC socket on the front. I assume it may run on 28V DC (thats what regular aircraft like Airbus have), but I am not sure. For scale, the filter size is about 112mm, but the thing is HEAVY, about 9-10lbs (4-4.5kg). Sizewise, it might fit onto a Linhof Kardan plate, but the weight is one of the problems.

Arne,

9-10 lb is so heavy that these become impractical for hiking, LOL! However, for copying artwork might be spectacular.

Do we know whether or not all the Lamegons are built with the same high resolution characteristics?
