Any of these sizes larger than 35mm but smaller than 6x9 is "medium format". https://i.imgur.com/02NaeU6.png It could describe film 3x or 5x as large.



But not six times. I mean, I have a 6x9 Fuji, and the images it makes are about 4 times as large as 35mm. And in any case, Holga/Diana cameras don't come anywhere close to that.


Well, going exactly from the quote, using surface area:

6x9 fuji: 54cm^2

35mm frame: 8.4cm^2

That fits roughly 6x


Holgas shoot 6x4.5 though, half that, and Dianas are 4x4, even less. And 35mm is really 24x36, closer to 8.6cm^2.


Holgas shoot 6x6 or 6x4.5.
