They weren’t lying… that format sure is medium.

A Canon AE-1 next to a Pentax 6x7, which is much larger.

@Gargron always loved that wood handle. Such a contrast with most other roll film cameras.

@Gargron I had one of those Pentax 6/7’s years ago. Amazing camera.

@Gargron only owned one briefly but man that shooting experience was fun.

@Gargron Jeez, I remember... When you fire the shutter, all the noise it and the mirror flipping make sound like dropping a boulder into a lake.

@Gargron That Pentax is such a monster I’d categorize it as “extra-medium” format. 😂

@Gargron Watch out for that mirror-slap. I used one of those for a while. (I still have it, though it’s not functional). You might find you need a tripod or a higher shutter speed than you might think. That big mirror shakes the whole camera.

@Gargron I will someday get a Pentax 67!! That is a beautiful camera!! You will be hooked on medium format.
