Info on the Pentax 67II AE61, please.

[Paul Manuell]

I came across this camera for sale on EBay but have never heard of it before. It's obviously a limited edition, but Google and YouTube throw up no results on it, other than sales ads. I can't afford a standard 67II, let alone a limited edition one, but really interested to learn the differences between the two models.
Thanks

The "AE" part of the name simply refers to the fact it has an autoexposure-capable prism (the same as the regular 67II). The "61" in the name refers to the type of Japanese train the colour scheme is taken from (yes, seriously).

Apart from the colour it is no different to a normal 67II. Personally I think it looks awful.

Ah, thank you both
