A fully automated LF camera that can adjust the focal plane automatically to get any 3 points in focus!

I'm definitely getting one of those! I think I might call it R2-D2.

Looks a bit prone to light leaks if you ask me.

Yes, the lead might be a bit short.
Do they do one which loads the film for you?

That is wild. I'm sure the field version runs on just two AA batteries too.

I had wondered what Joanna was getting up to. For your information, the camera is apparently digital with a 10GP resolution sensor and mounted with a new Schneider Symmar 90mm/f0.8 lens. The diameter of the front element of the lens is apparently 1200mm.
To order one contact Joanna and enclose a deposit (10%) of £30,000.

A solution to a non problem?
Unless I suppose, you've always wanted one.

It's the ultimate Man Gadget.... What better for an banker in one of the nationalised banks than to spend your bonus on a camera big enough to replace the dome of St Paul's Cathedral? Seriously though, I think it would be the perfect permanent exhibit on the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square as a tribute to one of our most useful MPs: Fox Talbot.
