>How about a 67? You'd probably end up with fine walnut powder ;-) I've gotta admit that Canon and Nikon, and for that matter Leica and Contax, really can't match the 6x7 for walnut-crushing power or other advantages of size. Given how cheap the 6x7s are, I've considered it, but I don't have a good way to get from 6x7 film to some form of output I want. (I.e. needs new scanner, or improved B&W darkroom setup). Realistically, I don't have any need for 6x7 quality and there's no inherant reason I can't shoot a Spotmatic as slowly and contemplatively as a 6x7. DJE
