Very interesting and nice results:

"...inspired by features from the $5,000+ Mamiya 7 (the format), the discontinued Hasselblad XPan (the aspect ratio), and the $5,000+ Leica M series (the film loading style). On the front of the PK-6142016 is a Schneider Kreuznach 90mm Super Angulon large format lens, which all the other components are based around..."

Pretty impressive stuff, and maybe he should be selling the plans so we could all run away and get one? Not sure how he keeps the film flat for 140mm though.

From the article I read (and the one above), he uses a similar principle to the Leica bottom-loaders and removes the top plate then loads the film into a narrow slot across the width of the camera. Although probably not perfect it's probably close enough with the aperture stopped down.
