Ha! A lot of culture references go right over my head, so I'm really proud of myself for recognizing that one (from the early Tom Hanks film Big).

I did some research, and the machines are now reproduced by a company called Characters Unlimited, in Boulder City, Nevada. That appears to be a "Deluxe Zoltar" model, available for $8,500. Behind it in your picture is another Characters Unlimited product, "Man in Outhouse."

Longhorn beetle crawling on squash leaves

Sadly, this, one of my favorite lenses, needs to go in for repairs due to oily aperture blades.

I'm no spider expert, but I think a spider that large must be female. Males tend to be several times smaller than the females of the same species. To put it another way: if that's a male, we're in big trouble.

Also, thanks for keeping this thread going. I need to take my one A lens next time I go out.
