I used to have one of these fifteen years ago, and have finally gotten a replacement.

Rapid Omega 200 with Super Omegon 1:3.5 90mm on Kodak Tri-X at 200 ISO.

Nice photos! Is that 6x7 or 6x9?

It's a 6x7 camera.

I used to have one. Pretty cool thing, but not very practical to lug around. The cocking mechanism is way too cool to use and play around with, but once you've done that a few times I found myself picking other camera's over it.

Thanks. I thought for so long that 6x7 was the cat's meow. I am starting to think 6x9 has a great charm.
 
Would really like to have one of these to accompany my very magnificent Horseman Convertible 842 camera... 6x7 and 4x5" are very similar in aspect ratio and for me it's the cat's meow, much more than 2:3 or square images
 
I shot one for yearbook and school newspaper all through my early years. Completely ruined me for 35mm - film for film (iso) there's just no comparison.
