Emne: Re: Pentax medium formats
Am I right in assuming the 645 frame is 6cm x 4.5 cm while the 67 is 6 cm x
7 cm? That makes the 645 nearly square. Is the 645 inferior due to its
size? I'm mainly thinking of landscape shots.

represents a nominal dimension expressed to the nearest whole centimetre.
And further, it's converted from inch
I have to agree about durability.
MF version of 645 is like a piece of rock.
645 is great for portraits, because of handholdability and shallow DOF.
And of course for landscapes.

First thing you need to know about is the Brotherhood, which is the

Seriously, the main trade-off is between weight of the gear and size

I'd disagree, just based on experience with numerous other negs of that and
other sizes. Those are nominal sizes. The actual image area is most
likely smaller, although sometimes larger in one dimension or another.
