A couple of horses up the road from where I live. Agfa Record I with FP4. Image digitized via my A7 with Pentax PKA 50mm, 10mm extension tube and a diffused Q20ii strobe.

Thanks! It's definitely a pain, but largely because I have a half-baked setup that was really only intended to work with 35mm film. Working with 6x9 on 120 film is turning out to be a very different experience than the 6x6. Not 'better' just 'different'. I do recommend it, though.

I quite like 6x9. Same aspect ratio as 35mm, which I find helps when I think about composition.

Exactly. With the non-3:2 cameras I have that allow it (e.g. my phone and my little Panasonic LF-1), I keep them switched to 3:2 aspect ratio at the expense of the pixels just because I prefer composition options with a more elongated rectangle than a square or 'fat' rectangle after years of working with 135 and APS-C (plus, I can keep the raw image which has all of the pixels just in case I change my mind). Off topic in a film photography thread, I know, but the mindset is the same.

All of that said, I have started to warm up to the idea of composing with the 6x6, it just took about two dozen rolls of film to do that!

Pentax MG, M 50mm f2. Silbersalz35 Top is D50, bottom pic T500. (shot +1 stop).

In daylight I shot T500 with a 85C orange filter to correct the colour balance.

BTW: the black border on lower shot wasn't added in post to make it look retro! The scans you get back from Silbersalz include that border, and some pictures look a bit bare if it's cropped off.
