John Hedgecoe's "The Photographer's Handbook" contains quite a few examples taken with a Pentax camera. John Swannell (you Brits might know him) has done some really interesting nudes with a 6x7. Diane Arbus was also known to use a 6x7 later in life (of course, Bill Robb pointed out a while back that she did commit suicide.....).
