I played with that camera a lot of years ago ('81/'82), think while it was visiting the Museum School (attached to MFA Boston & Tufts). It is indeed massive. Alas, we weren't allowed to take any photos with it. IIRC, one reason it's so huge is the Polaroid processor and carriage (wheeled) are built in. Today, Wisner sells a separate processor as well as a 20x24 camera. Add a tripod or two for a more portable package.
