Large format photography on MC travelling, possible?

[Margus]

Accually, i'm already using 120 medium format russian camera - Kiev 60 TTL witch is 6x6. Extremely dirt cheap, robust, but needs some calibration to get it working on the same level as quality German or Swedish mediums.

Some pics with it scanned in with pretty crappy scanner can be seen: http://homepage.mac.com/nemos/PhotoAlbum34.html

I get a very detailed pictures up to 50x50cm plus-minus, depending how good the focus and conditions are. From there some small grain starts to be seen. Now thinking about doing some bigger images (enlarging them myself on a lab) to cover walls. Large format seems the only unbeatable option for that... I really like big photos on walls.

6x6 medium format is averagely about equivalent to 500 Megapixel digital camera in resolution.

4x5" is about 5 or so times it, so count in gigapixels - stunning detailed big photos.

Just looked on some used 4x5 gear, not that expensive as i thought. But getting a compact enough one for MC travelling is another story...
