Stay calm and keep lifting those weights!

Spent the day out with mine yesterday but only managed one roll of film ... the weather was attrocious. I was expecting to shoot at least five rolls! :bang:

I had Pentax 67 and 67II for quite awhile and the 55mm and the 75mm lenses were very very sharp lenses. I also had the 55-100mm zoom. I shot with those lenses almost all the time. The 55-100 set at anywhere between 55 to 65 was just as sharp as the 55mm prime lens. Excellent equipment. I always shot from a tripod though since the zoom lens itself weighed almost 3 lbs. - Jim

I didn't mean to imply that the other lenses weren't excellent as well, they are. It's just that the 55 and 75 were amazing if you are looking for sharpness. - Jim

I have yet to use the 75mm Jim ... I can't seem to get past the way the 105mm renders images!

The 105 is very nice partly because it's faster than the others. It maybe a bit softer but I think that can be an advantage for some things. For what you are shooting it's probably the perfect lens for you. I am delighted that you are putting it to very good use. - Jim

I and a friend get the 6x7 plus 55 plus 90 and he keeps the 67ii that come with
he managed to find a 75 f 2,8

I love this camera!

I was using the spot metering yesterday to evaluate a scene with a lot of variation and really like that option.

As you say though ... the matrix metering is seldom wrong!

Got a mint 55mm f4 the other day - haven't tried it yet but sure feels nice in the hand. Not as well built as my early 105mm takumar though!

 

[Keith]

I like these revivalist threads!

Quite brassed, need to be cleaned but it seems to work fine, I am souping the test rolls

Let see the roll, lvr, mine has a little brass showing too, but sure doesn't change the final product. I just got a not excellent condition but pretty close 200mm for $106 + shipping on Ebay. I'm waiting for the chromes to come back. Maybe I'll post one.

I'm picking up my test roll of Fuji 400H tomorrow. Shot with the 67 and 105 2.4 I bought mid summer.

I've been so busy I haven't had time to use it prior to last weekend. Really love it though.

This week I have been preparing for a week in the mountains of North Carolina.
Monday & Tuesday were film holder and Grafmatic loading nights.
Last night was medium format night. I dug out every roll of 120 E-6 film I could find. Ektachrome & Velvia in various flavors. I loaded the medium format bag with the P-6x7, 3 lenses and the Hassy. Poor Hassy. Only one back and one lens. A 2 1/4 sq. SLR P&S.
I am really looking forward to returning to the mountains with the Pentax. I took my first P-6x7 & 105mm lens on a multi-day backpacking trip in Colorado eons ago. I still cherish those negatives.

I threw in some 120 Tmax 100 & Tri-X 400 for good measure. One can't live with color alone.

[le vrai rdu]

anyway, a gear picture

135 macro f4 closest focus or not so far

 

[micromoogman]

I have a nice 67 with meter prism, grip, 105 SMC + hood. I have a 45mm wide too.
I used it for a street series about shoes, handheld, and it worked flawless even during the cold winter.

 

[Doug]

I like that shot of the red shoes!

 

[Paddy C]

Love the shot of the red shoes.

(what film?)...because you know someone had to ask.

 

[micromoogman]

Thanks! I believe it was Portra 160VC.
