For Sale Pentax 6x7 MLU w/ TTL Prism and 105mm f/2.4 Takumar

[jwatts]

The body was fully CLA'd and repaired by Eric at Pentaxs in 2014. I had the film roller and gear assembly as well as the timing switch replaced (the most common failure points). It was calibrated and new seals were installed, see pics for the repairs receipt. The camera is accurate at all speeds. The prism is clean and clear. The meter is fully functional (chain is intact and on/off switch works). The prism has a small dent in the very top and superficial brassing. The focus screen is also clean and clear, it is the split image focus screen! The back door is also removable, this was a modification originally done by Pentax, allowing you to use the polaroid back. The battery enclosure is clean, completely free of any debris. Also includes right-hand grip, strap, body cap, and mechanical shutter release cable.




The lens has normal dust specks to be expected in a lens this age, these do not affect the image in any perceivable way. I've shot/drum scanned both C41 and slide film and have never seen an issue. Aperture blades are clean and the focus is smooth. This was my most used lens when shooting the P67 and it is reason alone to buy into this system. Comes with lens hood and both lens caps.





SOLD - $720 OBO, Includes Paypal fees and USPS Priority 2-day Shipping.

One of my favorite photographs made with this body and lens combo. You can see more on my site jmswts.com many of those photographs were made with this combo.

Checked out your site, really nice work. Composition, tonality, color, it’s all there. What film did you use for the most part?

Thank you, Samuel, very kind of you! I would say its about 35% Portra 160 and 65% Ektar 100.

A little weekend bump and price drop, open to reasonable offers.

Also found this while packing up the camera and will include it.

Hey Andy! I've just decided to try something else for a little while. After evaluating what I'm interested in doing with my photography I feel that there are tools that will better serve those interests. Ideally, I'd like to keep this system but it is just not possible for me at this time. I do hope to sometime in the future own another P67, such a wonderful camera, I enjoy using it very much.

As a recent follower who really enjoys your film work, I was a little sad to see you won't be using the P67 anymore. But looking forward to see what that something else is - good luck with the sale!

I appreciate you following my work! I'm not looking to really change the style of work, just using a different "brush". I'm actually slightly uneasy as I've become so accustomed to using a p67 and portra/ektar. It has become second nature, and I know its gonna take a bit to get comfortable with anything new, no matter what it is.

Pentax still available, open to offers!
