There were lenses made for similar process cameras (though I haven't heard of anything quite so big)
These things could be as big as a room.
They were used in "macro" mode though, generally, so the focal length would be less than one would expect. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

The video shows a computer generated artist's rendering of a fantasy camera that doesn't exist yet and never may exist. The lens you asked about doesn't exist. The image is based on, probably, a late 19th century lens/shutter combination.
The artist, Dennis Manarchy, has built several "room cameras" that are supposed to be the same size as his fantasy trailer cam. Search for his name and you'll find a bit about them. They seem to be made to shoot around 3:1 - 4:1; from that and their reported size its pretty clear that he's using lenses with focal lengths in the range 3' - 4'. Process lenses, most likely. With his room cam he shoots in a darkened room, uses open flash.
A large Packard shutter behind the trailer cam's lens would work. There are no between the lens shutters for large lenses.
At least one photographer has been using a room cam for portraiture for quite a while. Search for "Richard Learoyd." He uses process lenses too. |

My first though when seeing the images of the processing trays was "Oh SNAP, who turned the lights on?!"
It cannot be very economical to shoot film of that size. _________________ Sony NEX-5N, Canon EOS 7D |

My request was more a joke than anything. I just wanted to share this neat "little" camera _________________ Body : Canon 5d Mark II, Canon 50d

36 inch process lenses turn up on ebay pretty cheap all the time, not sure what the coverage is, but pretty huge as they were often used for newspaper printing and think how big a sheet of newspaper is.
Here is a Hunter-Penrose process camera, these were pretty common once. Imagine one of these on the back of a 4x4 pickup truck, I'd love such a combo to shoot mtn landscapes! lol
