Its not clear to me that you'd be able to find film for it anymore. Maybe someone knows better.

Might be fun to fool around with....but it also looks complicated enough that it would probably be A LOT of work to make it do anything remotely interesting. I'm thinking a single exposure.

To be clear, I know this wouldn't be practical for anything. Practical is different from interesting.

These were pretty specialized objects that were mounted in the belly of an airplane to do planimetric aerial photography. Besides the issue of getting and developing an entire roll of 9-inch-wide film, the lenses will be really long focal lengths, so you can fly at 2000 feet and photograph a scene 1000 feet wide. Heavy, too.

These days, a $200 drone will give you better imagery, which you can look at immediately to be sure you have the scene.

Everyone uses drones these days.

That is cool

What, like $100000 new? more? and auction for $5. LOL, sorta.

Who would be in the market for this kind of thing anymore? Some 3rd world country?

Cuase, yea, a $1000 drone could maybe handle this...

And there's a roll of 240mm film on eBay right now for only $650!

I have absolutely no use in the world for that... but I want that all the same.

I'd say throw in a lowball bid and see how it goes, depending on how large it is (the linked page won't load for me). If it uses 9 inch wide film, it can't exactly be small. Is the significant other in the Mattkime household cool with interesting yet functionally useless objects sitting around?

It is what it is.

The shipping cases it comes in are probably more useful than the equipment itself!

Yea. Current bid is $5.

Didn’t see a minimum. Can’t lowball it much more =)

Shipping case is worth more than $5.

It is for pick-up only, no shipping

Love the camera…
