A link to a project for building a big camera with a rare Nikkor

(1/2) > >>

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

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.

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

Alaun:
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

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

Erik Lund:
Crazy I think ;)
