Erik,
I can give you a quote on a custom tripod and matching crane.:D:D

Does the camera have a nameplate, or any other piece of identification.

In it's former lives, do you know what was it used for?

It looks really neat.

Mick.

There are 2 cameras in town,both at a government office,that must look like this one.I've never seen them but they fit your cameras discription.They were (are?) used to reproduce old maps at a 1:1 ratio.

Will it shoot in RAW?

I think its best to give that thing its own four legs and teach it walk.
It might be able to carry you to the photoshoot.
And even learn some tricks and acrobatics and scare off the little brats.

That dinky little lens on such a huge camera camera reminds me of something I heard a comedian talking about a few years back. It's like a body builder on steroids, in that the only muscle that really counts (penis) becomes comparatively smaller as the other muscles get bigger.

Good idea, mount a seat on the back and have it take me to the shoot, rather than the other way around:)
