Something is off in one post or the other... it doesn't match at all unless that's a toy cellphone in the first pic.

They are "small" mainly because of 2 things:
- They are designed with a huge flange distance in mind. So, they can cover a big area on the projection side.
- When you look into equivalency, they have comparatively small apertures. An f8 lens on FF can be very small also.

Quote:Every time I read Obican posts and passion about large format cameras, I feel like getting a large format film camera and starting with large format photography...Would you have a place that sells large aperture film, a place that can develop the film, a place that can make prints from that film, or alternatively a way to scan large film into high quality files?

But sometimes you just have a temptation...
However I wouldn't mind trying such a gear on rental basis for a day 😊
Obican has such knowledge and passion for large format you really feel the temptation to try it.
