Pentax 67 Gas!

[leicapixie]

I really liked my Pentax 6x7, no MLU.
I loved the feel of SLR, the flat film, no turns.
The lenses exquisite and that lovely rectangle 6x7 cm..
Color superb and the lenses were and are great.

Ran some portra 400 through the "bargain" 67 that has a dangling chain and looks mint.

No, not out of line. Perhaps leicapixie has steadier hands than me, or generally used faster shutter speeds? For my shots that were less than perfectly sharp, I was pushing the edge at 1/30 or 1/60, using either a 90mm or 105mm lens. Probably not ideal, given the rule of thumb of using a shutter speed reciprocal of the focal length? And I think that reciprocal shutter speed rule of thumb is for 35mm, not 6x7?

Either way, it's a great system that produces wonderful images.

A frame from my test roll through the P67 system. Loading film was a tricky ordeal, hence the light leak, but I'm loving the results, so far.

Loading gets easier, no secrets just experience. Great shot, I bought a maroon MG Midget for one of my daughters.

My 2 posts are not at odds, if one reads slowly..
When doing close-ups, macro work, requiring greater depth of sharpness,
I was using photo floods, making more heat than light,
I was using speeds that are impossible to hold in any film camera..
Long exposures obviously.
In general use though, Pentax 6x7 was hand held..

I agree with charjohncarter. The color and tonality on this portrait is splendid. Bravo!
