  ...Hey,it sure is--the 6 X 7 format is the Mamiya Press
  camera's main shooting format, and I have metal 'masks' which
  fit over the film's pressure-plate area to
  change the format to 6 X 6, OR 6 X 4.5---neat, huh???
  I can't change formats in mid-roll, but
  my one 1960's Mamiya Press can allow me to
  shoot in THREE different-size negs(or slides)...the only drawback is the camera weighs THREE lbs!! oof.--but it
  gives me some great landscapes...

  I'll stick by my 6x7 :)

  It will be some time before digital lets me do the same thing at the same price.

  Consider, if you will, a print made from a 6x7 Techpan negative. Try to calculate those pixels :)

    Dead right-- 6x6 ,6x7 or 6X8-the 6x45 seems to be a bit in the wilderness, format -wise.
    I saw somewhere to emulate the finest resolving emulsion--such as T-Pan the figure of45,000 dpi--go figure!

    Good Shooting,

      .....To answer an earlier question, a 6 X 7 slide would have an equivalent pixel-count of approx 7-1/2--to--9-MILLION pixels!!!
      Now the digital cameras will get to 8-megapixels
      in about 4 years--about in 2005. Meanwhile, we 120-film users can shoot our 6 X 4.5,6 X6, and 6 X 7 negs and SCAN them
      onto CD's, or Kodak Photo Discs(not the lesser-resolution Kodak Picture Disc) and we can have
      those 8-megapixel photos NOW....BTW, has anyone put their photos on a Kodak PhotoDisc???
