I came across pictures of an old photography magazine, that features pictures of a camera that seems to be a Medium Format camera with interchangeable lenses. I am curious to try and identify it, as it bears no logos and doesn't resemble anything I've seen before:

It's good that it's camouflaged so nobody can see you using that gigantic flash bulb.
