My favorite as well. I've been using a Fuji GSWIII with 65mm lens for a
good twenty years now - in addition to several 6x6's, 4x5, 8x10, 6x18,
and even 7x17. The 6x9 beats them all. Prints are magnificent at 16x20.
For a long time, I've been toying with the idea of getting a GWIII with
the 90mm to accompany it. Mike Healy

6x6, 6x7.5, 6x9 and panoramic. I think 6x7.5 originated with the old Omega

cameras. I think Singer/Graflex also made a roll adapter for this format.
Anyway, lots of formats from 120 film.
I have shot everything from 16mm to 4x5 and - of them all - 6x9 remains my
favorite. It has nearly the rendering power of 4x5 but appears in a much
smaller form factor camera. At the moment I have both a Baby Speed Graphic
and a Mamiya Universal with a G back. Both of these can shoot 6x9 in rolls
or sheets (and I do both).

"6X6' and "120" and don't forget 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 :-)But 120 can also be shot as 6x7 or 6x9 (2 1/4 x 3 1/4) or 6xSomePanoramicFormat.
