6x4.5 backs for 6x6 cameras never made sense to me unless the shooting
situation called to everything to be shot in horizontal orientation.
The need to rotate the camera obviates on of the key advantages of 6x6
-- one orientation.
In fact, I usually chuckle when I see a 6x4.5 camera advertised with a
WLF. Shooting vertical with that would sure make your chiropracter
happy for the increased business.
