Re 67 film economy: I was referring to 10 shots per 120 roll with 67 as opposed to 15 
or 16 with 645.  It makes a difference to some people.

As for printing, a roll of 120 print film is around $6Cdn, while developing and 
sleeving is $4Cdn.  With 4x5 prints, it's around $10, but for an extra $5 you can get 
5x7s (cropped) or 5x6.25s (full-frame).  The 4x5s seem disappointingly small, smaller 
than 35mm proofs, so I usually get the larger size, and don't get enlargements that 
often.  Maybe later, as my pictures improve.

Also, there seems to be no consumer film in 120 size, so it's pro film at $6 for 10 
pictures, as opposed to $3 for 24 pictures (if you get consumer film on special) in 
35mm.  Since I mostly shoot people, I like to get doubles to give to my models.  With 
35mm you can get a second set for 99 cents, while double 120 is double price.  As 
usual, luxury size is luxury price.
