Here's a photo of a Pentax 645Z medium format DSLR that was sliced cleanly down the middle. Pentax was displaying this half camera at the CP+ show in Japan back in early 2015. It's an interesting look at the guts of a camera that currently costs about $7,000.
Photographer James Friedman doesn't play golf, but he had a collection of golf balls lying around.

Leica and Sony aren't the only camera companies that slice their cameras and lenses down the middle to give the world a peek at their guts -- Canon does it too.
