FYI, I took a detailed look at my 67-ii and the pictures of the kit on eBay. I found that the kit is unlikely to work on 67-ii. The conversion mask to be placed behind the shutter curtain looks too thick to fit on the 67-ii. The film pressure plate will be squeezed hard and the film traveling through between the mask and the pressure plate will rub on the mask (left and right edge of the mask) very hard causing scratches. If the mask is not strong enough the force of the friction might push the mask off to fall into the curtain causing fatal damage to the shutter. I guess if you want to shoot 35mm film of p67-ii you will have to do it without the pano mask. It still can be done and it is safe I believe.
