Is there a Medium Format Field Camera, similar to the Horseman 985 MF Press, but with a 6x6 back?
Thanks for your comments.
Henry.

There is the Hasselblad Flexbody, but I would go with a 4x5. About the same amount of work to operate and larger negatives.

The film backs on the Horseman field cameras are interchangeable to many formats, however, I don't think Horseman ever made a 6x6 back. I'm pretty sure the older Singer/Graflex 6x6cm (2x2in) backs would fit. You could also use the Horseman 6x7 back and crop.

Nothing that was designed specifically for 6x6 film size. But quite a few that were designed for 6x7 or 6x9 will take a graflex 6x6 back.
horseman and linhof made folding technical field cameras.
Arca swiss, toyo, and gowland made 2x3 rail-style view cameras.
Graflex of course made 2x3 crown, speed, and century graphics.
There are also press style non-folding cameras mamiya press, graflex xl, and koni omega.
And there are some old woodies, korona and the like that were made for 3x4, not sure about 6x9

So, yeah, lots of options.

Or the Hasselblad Arcbody, but I would also recommend a 4"x5".
