Just saw this in the evening news and looked for a link

http://www.lightcatcher.it

A couple of small videos are there, one showing a big truck and lens to convert the truck into a camera.
A nice little project aiming to do pictures with a little old Nikkor lens, I wonder, whether Bjørn has this lens as well. The pictures taken actually seem to be UV-pictures.

Only up to APO Nikkor 600 mm, sorry. That lens covers likely 11x14" as least, but I ended at the more ubiquitous 8x10".

You have to look the video with the truck. He wants to convert the truck into a camera and he has a  Apo Nikkor 1780mm and picture size up to about 150cm

Well, pinhole enthusiasts have turned entire apartments into a "camera" so as such nothing new. But the truck is slick, though.

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

This is super!  Thanks for sharing.  I think Mr. Akiyama, the author of REDBOOK NIKKOR will be delighted.  :)
