Largest Medium Format Camera?

I definitely need it.
As I could declare it a coffeetable...

So what's the EBL of that rangefinder?
 
Gosh that's a big one ...... said the model to the photographer
 
When they say it's a Texas Leica, they are not kidding!
 
"Is that a Hasselblad?"
 
In the real world I always found my Mamiya Press with flash set up quite a handful. However my largest medium format camera would have to be an MPP with 6 x 9 back.
 
Would my 4x5 view camera with a 120 rollfilm back qualify as "medium" format?.......Regards

Sure, but it wouldn't be as big as my 8x10" Sinar P with a 4x5" reducing back and a rollfilm back.
 
I cannot figure out why someone would bother to put a 120 film back on a view camera unless they wanted the exercise of dragging extra weight and the additional awkwardness of a larger volume. It must be a form of sadomasochism.

Sadist to the masochist: Beat me! beat me!
Masochist to the sadist: Maybe
 
1) Financial reasons. If I already own a view camera I may not feel the need to buy a MF camera.
2) Movements. Roll film cameras with tilt-shift are unusual.
 
My reason for going 8x10"--> 6x7cm tends to be because I've had the 8x10" set up on a rolling stand around the house, and I might use it for anything, and if the situation calls for rollfilm, it's easier just to clip on a rollfilm back than to find some place to put the big camera and set up a different camera.
