Me, too...I'm not used to doing 6x7, either, but there's a Koni-Omega M in
my arsenal, just in case...it's what I plan to shoot my sister's wedding
portrait with.

FWIW, rangefinders have a distinct quietness advantage, especially in medium
format. A Hasselblad, or an RB-67, sound like a shotgun compared to the K-O.
(Just don't wind the K-O too fast, or it sounds like racking the action on a
pump shotgun... :-)
