I never really liked the square format. The exposed frames,

That's right - one benefit of only masking the viewfinder and not the
film.
With my old RB67 I actually rigged up a way to put 35mm film into it,
but that meant I couldn't shoot 120 until I'd finished the roll of
panoramas, which usually took a while as pans are surprisingly
difficult to do. Eventually I found a second 120 back which I could
dedicate to panoramas (it had a light leak which my film mask
blocked). Eventually I got tired of the old (non-C) Mamiya lenses
and bought a Pentax 67.
I must get around to scanning and printing some more of my old pans.
