The Ultimate Large Format Camera

Mark Goldstein | Film | May 26, 2004 | 0 Comments

Not satisfied with the detail from your 35mm film SLR, digital camera or even your large-format camera? Then you may be interested in the R1, a 110-pound, 6-foot film camera that produces what experts say are some of the highest-resolution landscape photographs ever made.

“Details of the mountain’s snowcapped peak - 7 miles from the camera - are in sharp focus, as are individual blades of grass only 30 meters away. When sections of the image are magnified nearly four times, other details are clearly visible: the shingles on a barn 1,200 meters from the camera, a red bird in the grass 45 meters away.”

Thanks to Sanj (again) for the link.
