My brief foray into ownership of a 6×9 camera came to an end today with the camera being posted back to the seller for a refund. Will I dip my toes back into the world of large medium format negatives again? At this point I don’t know – while the seller has been very good about my returning the camera, the experience has made me a little more cautious about buying another folding camera online for the time being. I’ll perhaps stick to what I have (for a while, at least).
Some more photos from my Easter back garden session today.

If another 6×9 camera presents itself, I’d definitely try another time with the format. I have two 6×9 cameras, a 2-1/4×3-1/4 press camera with a 6×9 roll adapter and a Zeiss folder. Both produce memorable, big images. They’re a nice middle point between the image quality of 4×5 and the convenience and size of 120.

Oh, definitely. I think if the opportunity arrises and I can be confident the camera is in proper working order (or is priced low enough to take a chance) then I’ll definitely take another dip into the world of 6×9.
