That makes the 645 nearly square. Is the 645 inferior due to its size? I'm mainly thinking of landscape shots. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stenquist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <pdml@pdml.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 9:31 AM Subject: Re: Pentax medium formats >I went for the 6x7.
