Their amusement works to your advantage!

some say "he even has a wood grip "

I thought the Beast is Fuji 6x8. Pentax 67 is handholdable but I think not the 6x8 ....

BTW, should the gas all run out ...

In my domain, the Pentax 6x7 is The Beast. Some would say the M5 is a beast. Or the Linhof. I seem to have an affinity for big cameras.

I phoned the guy who sold me the Pentax 6x7

I keep the optics, I give him back the body and prism and he will pay the amount of a working body + TTL prism

I hope you'll find a replacement soon. The camera suits you very well!

I have it … and I can’t help thinking about those BIG 6x7 negatives shot from a camera that will more than make up for any inadequacies in certain body parts!

‘le vrai rdu’ has it also I’ve noticed in one of his recent posts … not sure about his perceived inadequacies though … that’s probably just my issue!

As much as I like my Hasselblad I prefer to be able to shoot at eye level and in spite of reports of the big Pentax being far from ideal for hand held shooting I’ve seen images that suggest otherwise. Some advice and reports from happy users whether tripod mounted for landscapes or brave hand held street shooters would be much valued.

Thanks in advance.

I may be in Sydney mid November. My daughter lives there and it's her birthday on the 14th... (she's turning 20)

I'll have my Hassy SWC with me. (and my M3)

We should catch up.

I have the 55mm f4 too. You must get asked questions about a street photographer with that bomb. Good shots, I like the series on Flickr.

 

[le vrai rdu]

I get some questions yes

but most of the time people are just amused by such a dinosauresc camera

One from this week...

L O V E my 6x7

In love with mine. Heavy, loud, and utterly magical.

(105 2.4 wide open, hand held - think this was 125th)

 

[le vrai rdu]

wow, great work and superb light

 

[paralx]

Thanks! Something about the 105mm makes it feel as though you can sense the "air" in the photo. Kinda incredible...

stupid question but when I push the MLU button the mirror goes up (of course) but I can't get it back without shooting wich is quite boring :/
any solution ?
