For Sale Pentax 67 with 105/2.4 lens

[homeiss]

This is a Pentax 67 with a metered prism and 105/2.4 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lens. The meter works but when you change aperture the needle bounces around before settling on the correct reading. Everything on the body functions perfect. There is some dust in the lens, but the glass is clean (no haze, fungus or scratches), aperture sounds and looks good (no oil). The lens has the front and rear caps.

I'm asking $500 + Shipping. Payment with PayPal.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Cory

two things: First, the lens is a 105/2.4, not a 105/2.8. Second, while I have no knowledge of this particular unit nor its condition, my meter does bounce around for maybe a second or two before it settles at 100% accuracy. If this is a problem, remember: it's 1960s technology, the contemporary of the Spotmatic F at best. Th P67ii is a much more modern camera, but also much more expensive. The lenses are worth it, though. You get used to metering infrequently. GLWS.

Thanks for the info PaulMD! This is what I get for writing the ad so late at night (sure wish you could edit posts...). I've had the RZ67 110/2.8 on the brain so much lately that I got a wee bit confused... haha It's good to know that the meter bounce is not uncommon. I wasn't sure if it was just mine. Still works great!

Thanks again!

From what I can see here, you should also probably add that the 105/2.4 lens is yellowed quite a bit. This is perfectly normal, my copy is also likewise. It's due to the rare earth elements used in the lens. I've shot color film with my yellowed 105/2.4 lens and the colors came out fine. Shoot black & white film and it's like you have a free yellow K2 filter Anyway, this is a sweet system..I have tons of fun with mine. Good luck with your sale.

Does this have mirror lockup

 

[Joooorsh]

Yeah the 67 has mirror lockup, this does not appear to be the original 6x7 camera.

Thanks for pointing that out altair. I wasn't sure if Pentax 67 lenses came with a weird yellow tinge in the coating or if it was just the age of the lens. Guess I know now.
