pentax 67II vs Mamiya RB67 pro SD vs Hasselblad 503CW

[Sirius Glass]

After all the impassioned arguments made here I almost feel guilty reminding people that the real problem with the Pentax 67 system is actually shutter shake and the relatively long-duration sympathetic vibrations it causes. But this appears not to be a factor until shooting at 300mm or longer (and then, sadly, it appears to be incurable).

Happily, using hand-holdable focal lengths (figure 165mm or shorter) neither the mirror shake or shutter shake should be a real problem when hand-holding the camera with proper and practiced technique.

And yet we hear the din of nay-sayers chanting about mirror slap as they take blurry photographs with their Pentax 67's.

Yep, mine are so blurry, I should have given it up years ago. What a fool I was to sell my RB67 which weighs three times as much and has mediocre lenses. But boy, it didn't shake - at least not when I wasn't trembling from the sheer weight of the thing!

Glad all my publishers didn't notice that my photos were so blurry when they bought print rights!
