Digital BW, The Print

Hi Alex,
 
I can't comment on the difference between 6x4.5 and 6x7, all I can report is that the Mamiya 7 II is a joy to use (assuming you know its limitations), and has great lenses.
I do landscape photography, and I load the Mamiya with Portra 400 BW: no tripods, great scans, it's the perfect compromise - although I obviously won't dare to say that it's as good as Technical Pan on a steady tripod.
I don't know what system you use now, and what your style is, but the 7 II it's perfect for walking around and shooting without a ten-minute setup every time (I usually have a wife with me :-)
 
Hope this helps,
Alex

Good Afternoon All,

I have been using 645 format and wish to obtain
higher resolution for 16x20 prints. I have
been seriously drooling over a Mamiya 7 or RB 
67.  A pro friend of mine, who has been great 
in evaluating my prints and giving good help
says that a 'transition' from 6x4.5 to 6x7 
is not worth the effort and that if I want 
higher res, the only option is 4x5.

Comments Please !

Thanks,
Alex

( my father used a Graphic in 3.25 x 4.25  with
8 shot film packs - too bad that is no longer
a supported format )
