So, my father in law bought this: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30004943
(not that example, but one like it)

It came with filters and an unexposed roll of film. (HUGE ROLL OF FILM)
The whole setup seems to be in perfect working order, and the lens is a Kodak Anastigmat F 4.5 161mm lens.

I assume it's going to be too expensive/awkward, but is there any way to play with this baby an see what kind of photos it takes?

Two of the most famous photographs taken with a K-20 camera.

Left is Hiroshima and right is Nagasaki.

I've seen some nice shot with that lens adapted, nice find!

I am curious if it can be used as anything other than a landscape camera/lens, as it doesn't allow focusing unless I am mad...
I need to look up the manual at Butkus.
