    Shailendra,

    Don't let this thread be hijacked by someone trolling via priggish points.

    6x17cm is a tiny bit smaller than a 4x5" piece of film, so hardly small.

    PLEASE keep posting your 617 images; they are, in my opinion (for what that's worth), worthy of this forum. Just make sure you mention that they were taken on an 8x20" with a 6x17cm reduction back!!

    As far as I'm concerned shots that require a 170mm image circle, shot with a large format lens in leaf shutter using a camera with no automation has much more in common with large format than with a Mamiya or rolleiflex.

    Can I please suggest that we don't get into this discussion in this thread.

    Until ONE person decided to hijack this thread, it was enjoying good patronage and great images.

    Please, please, keep it image-based!!

    I didn't hijack this thread, I just asked a simple question. Photographs made with non large format cameras can be posted in the Lounge.

    IIRC this thread used to be in The Lounge and was moved here by the one of the Mod's so let's just chill and enjoy the pictures.

    If they bother you that much, change the channel!

    Re: Please show your 6x17 pictures

    I have no problem with large format content coming from rollfilm being included here. We allow box truck pinhole cameras down to homemade 4X5 point and shoot cameras, to rangefinder conversions from Land cameras and images captured on rollfilm reduction backs on 4X5 view cameras. We allow square images to banquet/pano images. I don't think anyone here would have a problem with images captured in a 6X9 view camera either.

    This is the Large Format forum, not the View Camera forum. We're not asking to include 645, 6X6 or 6X7 images shot in Mamiya or Pentax bodies here. Eliminating the inclusion of 617 format, which has a great deal more in common with other large formats is only robbing us of the ability to view and enjoy great photographs and alienating a group of users who have alot more in common with us than any other group of photographers.

    I don't think I've commented in thread previously, but there is a wonderful collection of images here including the last on Ektar shared by Sailendra.

    I for one would miss Shailandra´s 617 images very much, and even if they are off a 120 film camera, they can hardly be called MF in my book. I, myself use a DIY 4x5 P+S camera with LF optics and leaf shutter (and GG focusing) often with 6x12 rollfilm back, and since I get the impression that some people trip over themselves with indignance at the notion of such process as being deemed LF, I hardly ever post images here.
