Wonder how the camera does in UV/IR???? :)

Of course, in this project, "full frame" is redefined !!

Lens looks very similar to the Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 ;)

If the Hasselblad, Fuji and Phese One sensors are categorized as "large format", this one should be "huge format".  :)

Considering that the size of the front element is similar, its design is "very compact" for its image circle!

This is the medium format version of the 6mm f/2.8 I was thinking about, but I could not remember the focal length so could not find the thread 17.3mm  ::)
Same size as the 6mm,,,

Oh, I forgot about this one for the medium format.  Thank you for the reminder.

Having said that, the sensor of the Sphere Big Sky Camera appears to be nearly 80x80mm, according to the side by side comparison with Sony Alpha 7 body...
