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.

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 :p

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.

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
 
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. ;)

yes! finally I have it! just won auction for clean 67 body with plain prism, gonna have to find a nice wide angle lens for it.
