I started with a Yashicamat. Pretty happy with the pics; then about a year ago I got a Mamiya Rb6X7 Pro S; 2 bodies, 4 backs , 6 'C' lenses and an Extension Tube. That change my opportunities. In the meantime I got a Rolleicord and a Rolleiflex 1958 with a Planar 1:3.5. I use them all, for different purposes. Trying to get a good Folder.

Okay, BrianL talking about Bronica confused me for a moment there.

I'm on the 6x6 side of the brand. My only 6x4.5 camera is a folder - the Zenobia.

Great monkey portrait, you could put so many different captions with that one, very well captured.

The original posting was related to the 645 format and camera. I the MF realm I've used up through 6x9 but for me anything larger than 6x6 is too large as a walk around and handhold shooter. Even 6x6 and 645 I tend to use a tripod for about 90% of my shooting. I do like the Rolleiflex as a walk around but most other 6x6s including the SQ I find a bit too cumbersome. The 645 ETR is so flexible with the ability to go from a simple light SLR to a loaded tank in both 120 and 35mm wass the answer for me as I am not into having multiple systems or at least that is what I tell my wife.
