I believe it offers a life size image when printed to 12x16 or 20x16 (I forget which) and that was the point of his quest, to find the pictures at minimum focus and thereby present a life size view of the world in exhibition. Sorry I don't know if any exist on-line...

B&W or colour doesn't matter, although I'd prefer B&W. I'd especially like to see portraits taken with this arrangement. M. -- Martin V.
