Pentax 67 Gas!

105 or 55? Both nice. I'll continue to send you the hoods I find on Ebay. I use Tmax400 (-2) with my Pentax too. I was in Europe (South Fr.) a couple of weeks ago and paid 9.50 Euros for a roll of 36 Kodak Gold 200. I didn't really care but it would get old on a regular basis. In the US it is less than $2.50. Let me know by PM.
 
It is 135 mm f4 macro wide open,

here too, same lens :D

well it is not supposed to be so hight for a gold 200 but many small shop exagerate a lot on film prices ;)
 
:rolleyes: An old and recently awakened dream has come true. I just got my Pentax 6x7 w/ 105/2.4 The camera is loaded and I will get ready at the first sign of light tomorrow:D
 
Most of you RFFers are not into alternative stuff. But the Pentax 6x7 offers an infinite variety of alternative lenses. I buy body caps and mount different lenses. Maybe it is unpure but I like the results. I have a Browniehawkeye Flash lens mounted in reverse, a Polaroid ColorPack lens, and a pinhole from some laser company. I'll show you one from each. But before that I'm going to mount the working end of a 35mm Canon Serenar 100mm lens on another body cap soon. I'm hoping for vignetting:

Polaroid Color Pack lens, sorry this one doesn't really show how good it is with portraits (women love it, it has a softness that is hard to not like):

and pinhole:

I bought a pinhole body cap for my Beast. It isn't anywhere near as in focus as yours. Maybe I need to try another brand.
I still have my Hawkeye Flash. My first real camera. Removing the lens and using it on the Beast would be fun. How do you do it?

Pinhole 6x7 & HP5+ (I think)

I don't know about terrific results but different. I also took a lens off a Hollywood Reflex and mounted it on a cheap body cap. It gives a Holga look:

I did a preliminary test with the 100mm Canon Serenar (35mm) and surprisingly it covers the view finder.
 
I have developed some films now and must say that the camera is great (sic!)
Having much easier to nail focus with my Leica however.
A lucky mistake was made with this pic because the focus gets behind what I think is right using the finder.

Interesting what you say about the focus because when I saw this in the gallery I thought ... "he's missed the focus on the right eye!"

Then after looking harder I decided it was perfect as it is! :D
 
I have the 6x7 with the meter prism. Eric Hendrickson went though mine when I first got it and it was not very expensive, at least the body CLA.
 
I have a 67 with TTL prism finder. I also have a 67II with metered prism finder. The 67II is the version for me.
