I second this emotion. For a while now I've had an itch that will only
feel better when it gets scratched by a bigger neg. I've never really
considered 6x4.5 or 6x6, I figure you may as well go to 6x7 or 6x9. Sure,
the equipment is a tad larger but those big negs take away all the pain!
I've been through the decision-making process and have settled on waiting
for a nice Fuji GW670 or GW690 rangefinder to turn up. I could have cried
when a low-mileage example appeared on Oz oBoy just this week located a
half hours drive away, all others I've seen have been half a world
away! But due to seasonal commitments I don't have the readies ready so
I'll be passing on this one, there'll be other fish out there.
