The 645 loses about 3/4 of an inch on the short axis, the 67 about a 1/2 inch on the long axis, so I don't know if I'd say the 67 is the clear winner or not. The surface area is probably about the same. The aspect ratio of the 645 is somewhere in between the ratios of 35mm and 67. > > The other thing that you should do is handle and use both systems to > see what feels right and best to you.
