That's why I switched to a Sinar from a Cambo. Once I discovered the WA Bellows 2, I can use a 47mm lens on a flat board, and still have some movements.
A 4x5 screen works better for 6x9 than a 6x9 screen. You can hang a loupe off the edge of the frame, which is very useful with those short lenses.
I have a 6x9 and 6x12 holder, plus a Sinar Vario holder which does them all. I can scan those in my Nikon scanner at higher resolution than larger film on my Epson. 4x5 still looks better--format rules--but not because of resolution. It's a useful tool, and it's a lot cheaper than sheet film.
For black and white, I'll take sheet film any day. It's just easier for me to handle when processing, and I want the ability to adjust development sheet by sheet.
