For Sale SMC Pentax 67 lenses - 45, 55, 75

[jhw]

The 45mm f4 is in beautiful shape... $400 shipped

The 55mm f4 is also in excellent shape, but is for a special user: it has been shimmed about 1 1/2 mm for forward tilt. Doesn't seem like much, but stand on your porch and shoot the lawn or across the street...and the grass at the far end, or curb on the far side of the road will be discernibly sharper. The person who completed this work is well-known in the Pentax 67/Landscape online world, but I'm sure he doesn't want to be flooded with requests to shim 55's...so I'll send all info about the shim (what was used, what material, which screws, etc.) to the buyer. Thank you for understanding.
Anyway, I wanted tilt on my 55mm's, found someone willing to spend months on different methods, and ended up with lenses that add a good deal of DoF to the Pentax 67. -- $300 shipped

The 75mm f4.5 is a great shooter but cosmetically scuffed on the barrel, so -- $150 shipped

Thank you!

55mm



Look at the aperture ring...down on the right, but space on the left. (Don't worry, it doesn't rub when being turned.)

I'm wondering if these were priced incorrectly...or waning interest in Pentax 67's...?

 

[Hatchetman]

IMO the 45 and 75 are fairly priced, but not bargains. No idea about the 55.

Just out of curiosity, what did the 45 sell for new?

 

[jhw]

thanks Hatchet...I don't know about original price for the 45, but know the 105 was list price at something like $1200.

 

[jhw]

new, last prices:
45mm - 350$
75mm - 125$
(55mm stays...this is a great tool for landscape f/64 folk...)

I think i bought a p67ii with a 90mm from you about 10yrs ago if you're the same guy who had that lens shimmed back then. What about when you shoot verticals?

 

[jhw]

Vinny - actually, no, not me...my 67ii is the only one I've owned; I saw a few other folks talking about shims in the archives, so maybe one of them? Yup, vertical isn't as useful...this is definitely a tool for horizontal vistas. On it's side, of course, it acts as left or right swing. I tried it once on a row of redwood trunks I wanted to shoot at an angle and it was fairly effective, though I had to place the trees toward the middle/middle-right of the composition, as things on the film plane side of the DoF triangle went soft fast. Same with the upper parts of tall structures in regular front-tilt landscapes so, for these 3-d comps I swap in the regular 55 I have and stop down.

75mm sold, thank you!

 

[jhw]

Just the 55mm with front tilt left. Thank you. I'd like to see this go...need money, so, $245 shipped and paypal'd.
