Guess you guys will know about this guy but spotted this article in a UK newspaper site, some of the text is rather funny but what a camera!

I guess there is no equipment category for HULF (Humongous Ultra Large Format) here...

What the article does not discuss is how the images are enlarged, after all the article did say something that the detail was clear even on a 30 foot image (5 x magnification). Might be able to use the camera as as the basis for a horizontal enlarger, but what would you use for a light source?

I think I will see how I make out with my 8x20 before I would ever need to try this...

No, 1210/12.5 Apo Nikkor. Per Nikon, covers 40 degrees.

Read again. 10x, if his X-ray films are 3' long.

Dan,

Good point.

I saw the part of using 3 foot film, but was nonetheless thinking that 6 foot was the largest dimension of the format, not the length of the bellows draw. I guess that much like it says 5 foot high, when sitting upon a raised pair of tripods.

Size of magnifciation aside, no indication on how it is enlarged.
