TPF Noob!
I like shooting large format with my 4x5, but could you imagine using this?

Close! It had to be transported by train and took a crew of fifteen to setup and operate. It is a glass plate camera that makes a 4.5ft x 8ft image.stingray said:i think i've seen that before...from memory it was used to take a photo of a train and it was so big because the lenses were so undeveloped?

That got me curious. If I did the math right, a 20x24 neg at a resolution of 50 lpm = 50800 x 60960 pixels @ 2540 dpi in 8 bit RGB gives you a file size of 8.65G. 17.3G for 16 bit. Hmmm..........ThomThomsk said:[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]
Those sizes are in inches. So, 20x24... What is that in megapixels?

That's assuming you can get a lens which can resolve the damn thing :er:Dave_D said:That got me curious. If I did the math right, a 20x24 neg at a resolution of 50 lpm = 50800 x 60960 pixels @ 2540 dpi in 8 bit RGB gives you a file size of 8.65G. 17.3G for 16 bit. Hmmm..........
Could you imagine what it would take for the neg size of that 'big' old camera? I'm sure the technology is there, but it would probably cost more then the gnp of most small countries.DocFrankenstein said:That's assuming you can get a lens which can resolve the damn thing :er:
Nah... Depends on the aperture you want.Dave_D said:Could you imagine what it would take for the neg size of that 'big' old camera? I'm sure the technology is there, but it would probably cost more then the gnp of most small countries.
