I picked up a 6x7 MLU recently and this was the result from one of the first rolls. Handheld, Fuji 160, 105mm 2.4 I think I was @ 1/60 so it isn't as sharp as I'd like. This camera sure handles different that my M2...

That's funny! After I used the Pentax 6x7 for a while, I sold it and bought a Hasselblad. ;-)
I prefer 6x6 format. Had a Pentax 645 for a bit too, nice camera, but sold it and kept the Hassy.

It's great that some people prefer one thing and others prefer something else, as it brings a richness of choice and experience.
I have used waist-level viewing cameras in the past, and strongly prefer the eye-level experience. But eye-level viewfinders for Mamiya TLRs and Hasselblads for example are awkward IMO since the cameras are designed for use at chest level.
I also prefer rectangular formats. So when I was first shopping for MF in the mid-1970's, the big Pentax was the obvious choice and I've liked it ever since. I have accumulated 4 of them... and also a pair of P645NII but I prefer the P67's handling. Now in the digital age the MF preference is the Leica S for the same reasons I chose the P67.

I prefer the 6x7 frame to the 6x6, but love my Hassys and Rolleiflex.
Of course the Hassy lenses are excellent. But also costly. The savings on Pentax lenses really make a huge difference. And they are superb lenses.
I've bought and sold two Pentax 67's. Will have to pickup another!

Nothing against the Pentaxes or saving money. I only use one or two lenses on MF cameras anyway, modern prices on Hassy stuff are pretty low too.
It's all good. I just thought the comment was amusing since I went the other way after trying both.

I have all three... and three Bronicas
Sometimes I prefer square, sometimes rectangle. If I had to keep just one, it would probably be the 67.

Haha! I haven't tried the P67 yet. Maybe if I find a cheap one i'll try.
If i like both then i'll keep them. Just having another case of GAS

I'm looking to buy a 90mm f/2.8 (non leaf shutter)...and I can see that there are 2 (?) versions. Is the later one a better buy for any particular reason? I can see that the focus barrel grips are slightly different, but I'm not sure aside from that. Any insight?

I did the same thing! I had a 67 with a 105 and one longer lens. The images were great, but whenever the battery died, the mirror would hang up in mid-cycle, and I would lose the picture. And it was heavy! But I always missed the IQ I got with the 6x7 format. So years later, I have added a Mamiya 7ii for black and white work. Of course, I have kept the Hasselblad for color transparencies.
