The Mamiya RB and RZ systems had the same ability in 6x7 by using a rotating back. I used to own an RB kit and found it was a pretty decent field camera despite its weight. Being able to do verticals without tilting the tripod was a real bonus. The rotating back assembly does add a fair bit of bulk to the camera though. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
