Meter head for Pentax 67

eric antonio · Jul 25, 2019

Hi guys,
Will any of the metering heads work on the older Pentax 67? Not sure what model I have, I know its not the newer ones.

Also, I remember there was a procedure for taking it off and on?

Either the P6x7 or P67 metered finders (branded Asahi Pentax, Honeywell Pentax or just Pentax) will fit and work. The later one for the P67ii will not fit or work.

The procedure is to remove the lens before replacing the finder, replacing the lens after the finder. You risk breaking the metering chain if you replace the TTL finder with a lens mounted.

This is a Pentax 6x7 MLU (Mirror Lock-up). You can see the lockup switch in the center of the photo, next to the lens mount.

Details on the various models here:

Thanks guys! I know I don't have the II model. That's the newer ones.
Time to start looking!!

If you buy the metering prism finder make sure you get the round plastic part which slips over the body's shutter speed dial.
This piece couples the meter to the body and is occasionally missing in online auctions.

I’ve had my metered head repaired and it’s not working right again. Honestly I would skip it and use a separate meter.
