Great shot. I think Kodak's Portra 160 NC is one of the best ever for darks

The Pentax 67 is really a cool camera, but the size and weight always scares me away (I got Mamiya 6 instead, but it draws so differently) ... maybe one day I will find the courage 😉 But once I start to think of medium format SLRs the Contax 645 starts to complicate things even more ...

The 75/2.8 seems to be very rare - I found one as an action on eBay in EU over period of 6 months. Very hard to find any details about it as there are so few users.

Thanks guys. Yes, the 67 is alarming in its size and weight. But it's good anyway.

I had the 75/2.8 briefly. I can't give you very many details, as i believe i only shot it one assignment. I do believe it draws with very nice bokeh. Can't say anything about sharpness, as i shot it indoors, handheld. The lens isn't super heavy, as i recall. Feels nice in the hand and balances with the 67II body.

If i get back into the Pentax 67 system, i would definitely choose it again, as i welcomed the brighter viewscreen image versus the f4 version.

Time to bump this thread 😛

I also just got the 55mm f/4 SMC hood, which was way too expensive but pretty sweet. Next on my list is the grip.

Well, you really bumped it in style. That is a great portrait.

Thanks JSU!

This was shot with the 105 at 2.8 on Portra 400NC, pretty close to the minimum focus but not quite, no extension tubes

I developed the first few rolls of films that I shot with the Big Pentax
The Camera is Huge but because of the weight I tried as low as 1/30th and it came sharp!!! I have a small hand 🙂

Here is few shots (Tripod Mounted)

Damn -- way too many good photos in this thread. Makes me want to dust off my 6x7, slap in a roll of 120 and take some photos!

On second thought, I better go lift some free-weights first. 😉

I love my Pentax 67II more than the Hasselblad. It has been used to document the life of my children. 😉

No yellow filter "redisburning" I did this handheld and I think the contrast comes from the back lighting of the field and wind turbines. Thanks for the comments

I'm finally getting thru a substantial film developing and scanning backlog...
