 This is the world's largest camera. I really wish I would have known it was on display in the area a week before, as the weather was much nicer earlier. But oh well, at least I got to see it and get an entry for this challenge.

What's funny is that this is shot at f/2.8, pretty much as far as you get can from 11 on this lens.

Great concept and camera. I hope it's weather sealed. That looks like a project that I would enjoy being a part of.
The shallow DOF in this shot is fine with me. It's a very interesting subject to me, since I sometimes use a century old lens on a bellows attachment on my D7000.
Thanks for the link about it too.

But I think the water drops add to the image, and make us all cringe with concern :-)

ETA - I think Cory's monstrous experiment may usurp this camera's status as "world's largest"...

What's an f-stop? This lens even sweats for an answer to that.
