Jens, For me, I have found that 6X7 appeals to my senses better. Square is not something that I like particularly, but 35mm is too retangular. The ration produced by the 67 is just about right for my tastes. I do realize that certain subject content could fit better square or more rectangular, but for general use, I'm really liking the 67.
