Is there any camera that can shoot both 6x7 and 6x6 or rather has compatible 6x6 and compatible 6x7 backs?
 
Or an RB/RZ with masks, or a GX680
 
is it difficult to find masks for an rb67 or rz67, cause i was actually seriously considering either of those cameras? and also, is there any loss in quality, and do you waste space on the film because you'll be advancing a back made for 6x7 but only shooting 6x6, (do you still only get 10 frames on a roll of 120, rather than the 12 frames which you get with a 6x6 back)
 
If the camera film advance is fixed to work only at a 6x7 space then it with be the same, but if it is a free winding style when you just need to figure out the number turn you need for the 6x6 spacing
 
As far as I am aware the Mamiya 67 series only comes with two back formats: 6x7 and 6x4.5.
Bronica made a 6x6 camera that you could get a 6x4.5 back for.
The difference between 6x6 and 6x7 is marginal so you would do just as well to use a 6x7 and mask off for 6x6 in the viewfinder - which is what pros always used to do. Then you crop when printing.
Cheaper and easier.
 
The Bronica GS-1 has 120 & 220 backs for 6x7, 6x6 or 6x4.5. It also has available backs for 135 Normal (24mm x 36mm) and 135 Panoramic (24mm x 69mm). Of course, it also has the Polaroid back.
