The 6x7 medium format print measures approximately 60mm x 70mm, or about 2.4 inches wide by 2.8 inches tall. This results in a compact rectangular print area of 42 square inches. As the name denotes, 6x7 originated from 120 medium format film in 6x7cm cameras, yielding 2.4 x 2.8 inch negatives. Introduced in the 1930s, the slightly rectangular 6x7cm size complemented the square 6x6cm format. Today, 6x7 persists as a favorite of photographers for its versatile proportions and exceptional image quality from medium format systems. The subtle elongation lends itself well to portraits and landscapes. It provides a modest print size that still displays the full resolution advantages of medium format. For professional photographers, 6x7 remains one of the classic medium format print sizes that defined 120 film photography. It continues to offer impressive detail in convenient compact print dimensions.
