In an effort to take advantage of an old Rodenstock newspaper enlargement lens that was only being used as a paperweight, photographer Tim Hamilton has constructed an enormous “ultra-large-format” projection camera that he has used to capture unique photos and videos. Hamilton says that the reason he built the device was to make use of the old enlargement lens that he had in his possession. “Before I got the lens, it was being used as a paperweight, and the old photojournalists who worked at the newspaper before the digital transition were saddened by that. So someone handed it to me,” he says. “They are fairly rare and expensive lenses and it’s been begging to be made into a camera.”
