You may be thinking about the Mamiya 7. When fitted with the 135 kit, that camera produces exactly the same size negatives as the Xpan.

That's right. Sorry for the confusion.

The vertical dimension has nothing to do with the width of the frame on a Mamiya 6 (or 7), since the film is loaded left-to-right. On a Rolleicord or Hassie the film is loaded bottom-to-top, which then limits the frame width as you say.

That’s right in the sense that, yes, a Mamiya 6 could produce a wider negative. But the M6 is a square format camera, hence the negative width is limited by the 56mm vertical. The alternative would be to make it a 6x7 camera. But then you would probably need slightly bigger, heavier lenses to prevent vignetting, and they wouldn’t collapse into the body...and oh, it’s a Mamiya 7 🙂

No, the Mamiya 6 MF (the original M6 doesn't support the adapter) would produce a 24 x 56mm negative (1:2.33 ratio)

The Xpan negative is roughly 24 x 65mm (1:2.71 ratio)

Late to this game... I thought the Xpan / TX-1 ratio was closer to 2.9. I crop to at least 2.66 (which is still very hard to control sans landscape) and it chops a decent bit off.

But the M6 is a square format camera, hence the negative width is limited by the 56mm vertical.

I can only guess you are talking about "vertical" in the sense of a roll of 120 hanging to dry vertically.

When you shoot the M6, or M7, or any left-to-right loading camera, the image/film gate width is limited horizontally, based on the camera design, not the ~56mm vertical limit of a roll of 120. I would think most think of the "vertical" dimension as being up/down in relation to the actual image. A bottom-to-top loading camera like the Rolleiflex always appears to me to have sideways images.

A bit pedantic perhaps, but my point is that the width of the frame is not limited by the film, but by the camera.

That waterfall looks pretty cool. Very good shot of it, too.
