Handheld shots would likely reduce the resolution from 5,000lpmm to, possibly, 5. Also, holding the 500lb lens+camera for longer than 1/4sec is probably asking too much. Wheels would be a good accessory for candid shooting, as would a motor drive (possibly 2 litre, 100hp) for those wheels. Don't hook up this motordrive to the film advance by mistake. You'd go through 36 exposures before you have a chance to fire a shot. Now I think I'll breath some air with Oxygen in it. * Henning J.
