I watch this guy do all sorts of wild DIY stuff and in this case I thought some might find this one interesting

That's wild! I would never have thought to use two fresnel lenses in that way.

The problem is that it is even more impractical than a huge plate camera, to what benefit?! Street photography, or candid shots?! People grumble over the size and weight of MF cameras, which are a mere nothing compared to this behemoth!

Just like 8-wheeler race cars, a hiccup in the history of technology.
