I used to shoot 6x6 MF a lot more when I had TLRs. In recent years, I've been shooting 35mm 99% of times, so used to scale focused walk-by shootings with Leica RF cameras. The most "patient" way of shooting (carefully focused, metered, framed) for me is covered by my beloved OMs.

I've got a rather nice 500cm kit that I scored at a local camera swap last summer, but the poor big boy camera is sitting in my "camera corner" most of times, just getting out for occasional kitty shots in my apartment. I love the pictures with the camera and 6x6 format, but my hassy hasn't seen much of light because of its size, weight and the large shutter sound.

Well, I'd love to try out RF MF like Mamiya 6 or 7, but I feel my hassy got so much to offer and I just need to be "pushed" a bit.

Please inspire me with your beautiful black and white square pieces. It doesn't really have to be with a Hassy. Give me some boost with your photos please!

Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow. Thanks very much for sharing fantastic photos. This thread is already giving a lot of encouragements AND GAS attack as well. :D I always wanted to check out the Kowa Six, and oh that SWC shot is just gorgeous!!

And it's really great to see some darkroom prints from 6x6 negs.

Please please keep 'em comin'!
