Pentax 67 is mine

[Anthony Martinez]

Picked up a Pentax 67 today with a bunch of (expired but frozen) Velvia 50. I'm not setup for E-6, but I guess I can get setup for it at some point.

nice

[venchka]

Well done. You will like it. What lens/lenses did you get?

[Anthony Martinez]

90 2.8 and 150 2.8

[venchka]

Interesting. I like the 150. I have the 45 & 105.

I can't keep myself from smiling when the shutter trips. It's so loud. Awesomely loud. I like loud mechanical things.

[wclavey]

Loud??? You have not heard *loud* until you have heard the Bronica S2A... it makes Wayne's Pentax 67 sound like a leaf shutter... LOL! Thh-BOP!

[Anthony Martinez]

Hah, you'll have to show me then!

Does your body have the mirror release slider switch? I use that hand held with the 45mm lens. I'm not sure that I could keep the camera still for the other lenses. I do use it when the camera is on the tripod. Some folks claim to be able to hand hold the Beast at 1/30 sec. They must have more steady hands than I. I haven't tried it yet. The camera is in it's own element hand held. Like a ginormous Olympus OM-x SLR.

[Anthony Martinez]

Yeah there's a mirror lockup switch thing on the side.

[venchka]

Good. It means the body is slightly newer than the original body. Even with the mirror up, I still hold the camera firmly when shooting at slow speeds on the tripod.

[Anthony Martinez]

Not that you don't all already know what the thing looks like.

[venchka]

Good grief. It doesn't appear to have ever been used. Good score!

[Anthony Martinez]

The prism has a few dings in it, but overall it looks to be in very good shape.

[venchka]

Run a test roll through it. Mine arrived needing light seals. Which I didn't discover until after my return period. Dumb!
Enjoy!
