Current Pentax 67 prices in Tokyo?

[gavinlg]

Hey japanese RFF residents!

I was wondering if someone approximately knew the current going prices in Tokyo used camera stores of the Pentax 6x7 models - specifically the 67 and 67ii?

I'm there in March and considering picking one up while over there... 2009 I found an old 6x7 model in one of the shinjuku stores with 105 takumar for $100 total - though I know that was an anomaly rather than the rule.

Any help appreciated!

There are some real bargains in Japan on the 6x7 series, but at 100 USD (thats less than 8000 yen at the current rate) for a Body/Lens combo it must likely have belonged to the "junk" category with some defects, or must have been ugly beyond recognition.
It is not a series I normally pay close attention to, but I have on occations been surprised that you can get nice looking old 6x7 body (ttl) lens kits in the 20000 yen range. Newer 67 models cost more and a 67II body is probably closer to 80000 yen than 8000 yen.
For the bargains, a lot will depend on your luck the given day.

At Fujiya Camera they had some 67 bodies for 20-30000 but they were gone within a couple days.

That is a good link. Tokyo prices are amazingly aligned throughout the city and kitamuras prices are probably as good a guide as any.

OP should be aware that the bargains or the good cosignment deals rarely make it to the websites. You have to visit the shops in the morning. After they had time to put out new stuff, but before the lunch rush.

Ahhh brilliant, you guys are tops - thanks so much!
Looks like I might get a later model 67 (but not the 67ii) when I'm there.

The one I got was part of the junk pile I think, but it seemed to work fine for about a year after I bought it. After that it developed some intermittent problems - possibly battery drain. It really just needed a service. I got some lovely negatives out of it though - completely hooked me on the format.

Once again thanks guys - and that link is perfect!
