That's one hell of a camera!

88 megapixels... I'm guessing that was either a medium or a large format film camera.

2 1/4 chrome. lg format isn't square. weird neg mask tho.

http://www.digg.comThis image was taken on Kodak Ektachrome ES100 film shot at 1/280th of a second at f/5.6. This is one of Kodak's sharpest film stock that they make. PMost likely it was scanned on an Imacon Flextight scanner (or its equivalent) which could explain the edge to edge sharpness of the shot (many scanners can't get the corners sharp because of film curl).

amazing that 12 days later it was still smoking.

Might not be smoke. Could just be the dust being kicked up by workers.Eraser wrote:amazing that 12 days later it was still smoking.

Amazing that 35mm slide film can still offer a much much higher resolution than digital.+JuggerNaut+ wrote:apparently it was taken by NOAA's Cessna Citation Jet using a Leica/LH systems RC30 camera.
