What you get is a sharper deeper negative that enlarges beyond 1114 with more grace and is easier to handle if you do your own darkroom work.

Negatives are a little squatter than the standard 35mm frame (24x36mm) and therefore full-frame printing on standard paper sizes such as 810 need not require a cropping decision. Likewise a 67 or 69 can print to 16x20 for the same quality as a 66 printed to 16x16. These numbers are ostensibly in centimeters although in practice a 66 camera such as a Hasselblad will expose a 56 x 56 mm frame. On the other hand, nobody has ever agreed on the proper width. It thus seems safe to say that the world has reached agreement on the proper height for a medium-format negative.
