As you may have guessed this is another beginers type question. I'm not looking for a one format vs another type of response here, just some constructive input . As some of you are aware, I just purchased an Arca-Swiss 6x9 F-Line Metric ca mera. I am still piecing together my first complete view camera outfit. I choo se the 6x9 format because I happen to be very comfortable with roll film, and ho nestly sheet film and thier associated holders still intimidate me "dust,dust,du st I hate dust". It will be several months before I complete all the purchases r equired to take my first photo with this camera outfit, so I have ample time to ask questions. I have never been a big fan of the 1:1.5 aspect ratio of 35mm fi lm, in the past I've prefered the standard 1:1.25 aspect ratio i.e. 8x10, 16x20, etc. or a square format over the 1:1.5 35mm format. But now I'm not so sure wh ich film back to purchase first with this new camera, the 6x7 or the 6x9. Lets face it, in the big scheme of things roll film is cheap compaired to sheet film. Should I get a 6x9 film back so that I have the largest film area available jus t in case I need it, and then plan on cropping most of my shots down to 6x7??? A re their fans out there of the 6x9 format coment please??? Some how I feel that I'll be cheated if I don't get a 6x9 back, but on the other hand I think the 6x 7 is the most practicle choice. Feedback Please, I think that I'm over thinking the whole matter. Thanks a lot. Bob Pellegrino
