The bottom line, as I can best recall, was that it was not bad--in fact, for one picture of an ex-Erie concrete mainline coaling tower still standing, it worked beautifully; with a regular camera, one would have had to back up far enough away, use a wide angle lens, or make two overlapping images and then splice them together when the prints returned from the lab. The member did make at least one compostional error when he did a vertical shot of a restored "Erie" E8. Everybody present at the club panned it.
