Cameras (analog Medium Format 6x4.5 cm)

----- [0] At the moment, I do not own a digital camera of this format. But regarding resolution and, starting from about 6x4.5, also due to the optical difference (as with analog), it is almost only a matter of time and price. [1] One should never say "never". I was quite interested in the format in the 1990s, but currently, I see no interest or point in it for me. [2] I currently see no real point in using the small medium format between 35mm (135 film) and the larger medium formats ( >= 6x6). Only with 35mm film would it make some sense.
