Given that it's a medium format camera it certainly follows the principle of 
"small camera - big picture".  For a medium-format camera it's remarkable 
small and portable, and it should be possible to make HUGE high-quality 
pictures with it.

It's certainly not a Barnack Leica but neither is an R, and even an M camera 
is bi\g compared with Oskar's invention.
