Title: A link to a project for building a big camera with a rare Nikkor
Post by: Alaun on October 24, 2016, 22:46:32

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.

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