I shoot 67 and 35mm and I like both formats. I feel equally comfortable with both and I think I only prefer 67 because its bigger, not because its squarer. I expect I'd also feel comfortable with 645 as it lies between the two. I've also shot 24x68mm (the same aspect as 6x17, or 2.85:1 movies) and found it extremely difficult to compose with. In fact, shooting in this format was so difficult that I'd love to try it again. My kingdom for a Pentax 67 Xpan! I've never shot square, yet. Its something I would like to try someday. Maybe I'll look for a 6x6 with a circular fisheye lens, and shoot round images on a square frame ;) Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
