The Pentax 6x7 was the weapon of choice among NY fashion shooters until film went away. A young man I know who worked as a PA for pros in both LA and NY told me he didn't like working in NY studios because almost all the photographers were shooting with Pentax 6x7, and it was the PA's job to reload the multiple bodies that would be used in a shoot. The 6x7 is somewhat difficult to load, and on a fashion shoot, a reload might come every couple of minutes. A bad reload, where the film didn't wind correctly, could be a disaster.
