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

    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.
