Second time around Pentax 6x7

[dave olson]

Starting to put together a kit consisting of a Pentax 6x7 MLU, 75 f4.5. In addition to the additional small things needed, wood hand grip, lens hood, 82 mm UV filter. I say second time a round as I used another 6x7 when I was shooting professionally. Upon retirement I decided to downsize my equipment, so the 6x7 went, among others. I love shooting medium format. Looking at a transparency, or negative in the 6x7 format is a joy. The best place for Pentax 6x7's is Japan. I found one in mint condition with a mint 75 f4.5. Now all I have to do is develope endurance.

The Pentax 6X7 was the first medium format camera I owned. I bought mine in 1983 and still use it. I never bought the wood hand grip, but a couple of years ago I purchased a right hand grip. Makes handling the camera even better.

The Pentax 67 is THE camera I shot the most of my 120 on during my earlier days in film. First time was back in 1995. I just love using this camera. I bought my own in 2003 and used it till 2012. Sold it and got the Pentax 67II that year. Sold the 67II just last year and got myself another 67 version 1, which would be the second one I've had of that revision. I tried a RZ67, but just didn't enjoy shooting that. Im just too used to the P67 system. You'll love using this camera again. Prices have been climbing on it of course. Even the old junky ones are worth quite a bit now. Youtube really pushed this camera hard.
