Other than Japan Exposures, which will run me about $260 for a pair of BJ-61 focus screens for my Pentax 67ii's, anyone know of a source, perhaps in the US?

The other question is do I want the BJ-61 or BJ-81. I know their is an issue stopped down past f/5.6 on the BJ-81, but can't I just adjust for this manually?

What screen are you looking for, there is no BJ-61. The split image screens are the BB-61 and BB-81. The plain matte screens are the BE-60 and BE-80. Your best bet is to buy used, but you'll have to be patient, there aren't many around.

Here are the 67 screens that are available, the BJ-61 / BJ-81 is the split focus screen with grid lines. I'm assuming I'll just have to special order it from Japan.

The BH and BJ series of screens are news to me. They are not listed in the 67II brochure or the instruction booklet for the 67II screens.
Nor have I ever seen them. You might get lucky and find some NOS somewhere in the states. I found the BE-60 this way for $40.

I have just moved up to medium format and purchased a Pentax 67II. I would like to find a BB-61 Focus Screen for it since I like it better for some shots than the factory BA-61 Focus Screen. Can anyone lead me to this evasive screen?
