I don't see why not but the bigger they get the slower they are. Something
that'd cover the focal plane at 6x7 would probably be slower than a focal plane
shutter (and you'd lose your higher-than-sync speeds altogether). A leaf
shutter really needs to be in the lens :)

It's almost square but not quite :) Have you ever tried tilting a medium format
camera 90 degrees on a tripod? My Manfrotto 055 will barely stand up with
my RB67 tilted over.
I totally love my RB67 system (rotating interchangable backs _and_ all the
lenses are leaf-shutter) but the old lenses I have are too soft for my liking :(
When I go to a new system in the future I'll be torn between the Pentax 67II
and the RZ67.
Cheers,
