Pentax 67 Gas!

I hope this isn't too large, but I shot this of our local museum; handheld:

55mm Pentax lens:

and this with a Brownie Hawkeye Flash lens converted to use on a Pentax 6x7:

I really love the 3D rendering of the 105mm 2.4 lens. I own a Pentax 645, but not the 67. I wonder if I could achieve the same look by mounting the 105mm lens on the 645 with an adapter. Do you think the same 3D rendering be preserved?

Thanks.
Joe
 
I hate this thread...I have asked the Mods to please Close it but they haven't...now I have to suffer through that youtube video (just spent two minutes watching some guy loading a roll of film...)...not to mention all the fantastic photos...have I not suffered enough...???
That is one beautiful beast...

I don't know, Joe, it might. The 75/2.8 AS from the P67 is just as brilliant on the P645. But here's a pic from my P645NII shot with the P67 105mm f/2.4... See if you find an answer.

Just saw the Ariel Square Four chopper..... my ohhh my , I do miss not seeing more of that old British engineering on the road. Peter
ps; is this dating me ?

Joe,

I would suggest to you that the 3D effect of the lens, shot in the same condition as another lens, shows more 3d because of it's transition to OoF and potentially to some field curvature as well. both of those are effected if you chop off a portion of the image circle.

could you capture some of it? that seems likely. could you replicate it? that seems UN-likely.

Thanks, Doug. That looks good, but it's probably not shot at 2.4, is it?

I'd love to see more examples of 67 lenses (particularly the 105) on the 645.

No, more like f/8 or so I think. I'm not at all sure that any 3D effect is maximized at wide open, though surely DoF is narrowest.

Here's another 105 shot on the 645, this time wide open...
