Pentax 67 Gas!

[le vrai rdu]

Tmax 400 and D76 1+1 10 minutes 🙂

the pentax 6x7 give a nice contrast, I contrsted a bit the pictures but very slightly

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 😀

well it is not supposed to be so hight for a gold 200 but many small shop exagerate a lot on film prices 😉

🙄 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😀

AWESOME! Go for it! Grab some light with a great system.

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:

BHF reversed lens on 6x7:

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)

 

[charjohncarter]

I used a lenox laser pinhole for mine: http://www.lenoxlaser.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=3

And I mounted my BHF lens backwards on a cheap Body cap from Ebay:

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 am LOVING this thing. 6x7 ratio is great!

Man that is a beautiful photo. I can't wait to start taking some portraits with this thing...

 

[Instantclassic]

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! 😀

I got some money for chrismas and I have some plane to transform it in a 75 mm f 4?5 🙂

 

[charjohncarter]

Let us see the results, good luck.

My 6x7 body is acting up. I now have 6x7 GAS.

 

[charjohncarter]

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.

 

[venchka]

Thanks! I just sent Eric an email. I hope his response is positive. I'm having 6x7 withdrawl already.

I have a 67 with TTL prism finder. I also have a 67II with metered prism finder. The 67II is the version for me.
