What a fabulous collectible this would be:

<p>I'll take mine in Olive Green.</p>

Hopefully its creator Sonja Nilsson will tell me more about it, I will let you know.

<p>It looks like my Pentax 67. ;-)</p>

<p>Seriously, the F-1 is one beautiful camera, perhaps the most beautiful SLR ever made. It truly is a work of art.</p>

<p>Interesting. It may appear to be an exact replica but if it were truly a real F-1and lens that size, I doubt you could lift it. One of the most beautiful cameras ever.</p>

<p>Love it! Get out your 3D printers!</p>

Sonja Nilsson responded to my inquiry about this piece! She said it was created during a time when her work focused

upon perception, monitoring, and psychology. The effect of her camera's "gaze" on social interactions within a space was

of special interest. Sonja had access to a machine shop where she could precisely craft the parts in metal and plastic, this

process took a long time with all its exacting details.

<p>Very interesting. Did she tell you how much it weighed?</p>
