Looks like.... Don't remember but I do remember what I took it with!Did you crop this? Looks more like 6x12.
It is fun that 6x9 sometimes gets a rap about its aspect ratio... the same as 35mm. I haven't tried 6x7 but would welcome its 2 extra frames for some situations like travel, and under my budget of bang for the buck. Sometimes I do feel a "neither here nor there" with 2:3 because it can be awkward for some subjects. The Texas Leicas have a reputation for large and bulky, but I guess it's by comparison to 35mm.I adore, literally, 6x9 format. I've always been crazy for it since my early youth. It's like having large format always with you, but in a pocketable size and with the convenience of 120 rollfilm.

My biggest regret in recent years is that the Voigtlander Bessa III was made 6x6 and 6x7 only. The twin format was a *brilliant* idea, but what a pity it was "only" 6x7, what a wasted chance. Why, oh why they didn't made it 6x9...
What a cute and ingenious camera!!!A mid 1930's Welta Superfekta.
my current favorite is the Kodak Tourist II with the 101mm f/4.5 anastar lens. With an auxilliary rangefinder it's very usable, and ridiculously cheap (I think I paid < $50 for it). It competes well with my GSW690III which is also a great camera, but in a different way (and much larger).
For 6x9 I use what's probably the most unusual camera I've seen. A mid 1930's Welta Superfekta. It's a folding 6x9 twin lens reflex with a revolving back. The taking lens is a 10.5cm f/3.8 Tessar and the viewing lens is a 7.5cm f/3.8 Weltaskop.
ditto -- i have a super ikonta c as well as one of these, and the Bessa II is a lot easier to use, the viewfinder works better, the lens is amazing and the camera is very well-built.Voigtländer Bessa II with the Heliar is my only 6*9 game and it works extremely well for me ^^
