I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was watching this crazy video on youtube about these crazy French men climbing this very dangerous mountain...and a few minutes into it, I see this guy is carrying a 6x7. Seems they used go-pros and drones and all the high-falutin stuff for the video, but for all the stills they used a Pentax 6x7. It's definitely worth a watch.
Here's a bit from an interview in snowboarder.com (https://www.snowboarder.com/videos/zabardast-expedition-karakoram-range-jerome-tanon-full-video/)
"I imagine that’s a common feeling for any director. And in terms of the still imagery, you shot all film up there, right?
Yeah, all photos on film. I’ve taken snowboard photos on film since around 2009, because I love the grain, texture, and darkroom techniques, it’s so much more timeless, I feel. It was an advantage there because I didn’t have to transfer memory card data or reload batteries, but it also has many downsides, which I am used to. I only brought the Pentax 6×7 with four lenses, which weighs about the same as a dead donkey. But I felt like medium format was absolutely necessary to capture the beauty of these gigantic landscapes"
