How we built Bertha, a large format camera that will shoot 1.1×1.1 metre slides
- ggm 7y agoI've been inside a similar camera at Edinburgh's Nelson printworks which used to print maps 1:1 from the hand drawings. (Back in the seventies) It was a walk in room for the negative. Nelson printed jam labels when the map trade was quiet. Smaller artwork!
- throwawaysea 7y agoI don’t know much about the mechanics of such cameras, but wouldn’t they need to get custom lenses and custom film of that size? I would imagine it is prohibitively expensive to get one-off manufacturing done like that.
