Selling my Pentax 67 MLU Medium Format Film Camera Kit & Accessories
$1050/offer

(If you're not familiar with the Pentax 67 I suggest digging around the internet first to learn more.)

I use KEH's Grading System.
Dead Link Removed

All items would be considered BGN or better. Everything functions and the camera has worked flawless since I purchased it a few years ago. You'll see from the images that I'm not great at dust control, but all of the glass functions great.

Lenses:

While they look dusty, they're all clean and the focus rings turn easily and smoothly. No mechanical issues, just normal scratches from years of use. There are factory air bubbles in one of the 135 macro's elements, but I've read that's normal and it has never affected image quality. You can search the 'net on your own to find out more. They're almost microscopic, but I noticed them one day and did some research and found they were a non-issue.

Other:

I did use gaffers tape to block off the mirror lock up button much of the time I owned the camera. The tape did leave some residue which you'll see in the photos. The button and feature works great, but it's easy to accidentally hit the MLU button by mistake which causes you to lose a frame.

Also including a rare Really Right Stuff Pentax 67 specific tripod plate. You'll see how it's curved to hug the front of the body. No longer available from the manufacture and a joy to use with any Arca Swiss compatible head.

You may not need it, but I'm also including one of the nicest P67 lens to Nikon F-Mount adapters available. Fotodiox Pro PT67-AI (may also be NLA)

Lastly I'm including an almost new Think Tank Photo Airport Commuter backpack with optional Pro Speed Belt. Pack holds the kit great with room to spare for filters, film, release cables, and other vital accessories. Retails for $209.

Just ask if you have any questions.

I've listed the gear below including prices that show my per-item cost comes in lower than KEH (though I'm selling this as complete kit only) with links to pricing at KEH when available. I've honestly tried beat the pricing you'd find elsewhere by a good margin.

Offering entire kit (no parting out) for much less than the items parted out individually at just $1050/best offer. I'm taking a good loss by not parting the kit out. Price is pretty firm, but feel free to send serious offers. Please do not ask for me to part out the kit. Thank you.

Located in Santa Rosa, CA 95401. Available for shipping (well packed, padded, in backpack and then in box). Prefer US sales. Can include FedEx Ground shipping in sales price.

Thanks for looking! --Randy

I should note that I was using this camera up until last week. Ran 15-rolls through it in the past month alone! If needed, I can take a video of myself loading a roll and firing off some shots.

Thanks again for looking!

Make me an offer, really! However I'm *this close* to parting the kit out.

I might be interested in the P67 to Nikon adapter, if you part it out and price.

I'll let you know if I part out the kit. However if I do part out the kit I may keep just two items - both the 105 f/2.4 and the adapter as they are a great combo when I'm shooting digitally with my Nikon kit.

Cheers,

Randy

*bump* Would also consider trades/partial trades for fast Nikon glass. Looking for an 85 f/1.4, 50 f/1.4 or 200 prime. Older AI models are fine.

Cheers,

Randy
