Pentax 67 Gas!

[charjohncarter]

Eric Hendrickson just repaired my meter prism. It is working great. I'm back in business.

@birbal, you are just killing it with the home Tetenal kit. I have dreaded the learning curve with that and never tried it for fear of buggering up a lot of rolls whilst getting the hang of it, but you tempt me to give it a go. Did you find it difficult to start?

Nice portraits as well! I like your work with the P67.

If you look at the user manual that comes with the kit, they recommend only rotary processor (like Jobo CPE-2 or equivalent) but I never had one and I always done it by hand. Let's say out of 40 developing process I screw up twice just a little (the colours are a bit funny due to a slightly higher temperature for the colour developer than recommended)...but still the pictures where usable.

I found it very easy to start and my first process was a really success. You just need to be a bit extra careful with the temperatures to match the data sheet and keep those temperatures constant during the process. One thing that you need to be aware of, once the bottles are open and the chemicals are mixed, they won't last more than 6 weeks. What I usually do, is to wait until I have 15 x C-41 rolls and them I process them all within 2 weeks and then I dispose the kit.

At the moment I'm in the middle of moving in another location but once I get settle down, I plan to make a video to show it how I do it and how easy it is. Is nothing to be scared of. Good luck!

Here is another one from my Pentax 6x7 using a homemade lens. It is off a Brownie Hawkeye Flash:

Criminy! This thread popped up on the home page earlier today. I got through page 5 and bought a 67 II body a couple of minutes ago out of Japan. It was either that or be able to pay my quarterly taxes in 4 days.
Priorities. Mine are wrong, apparently.

The mental genesis of all this started a month ago when I finally got around to scanning some 6X9 negs my father took during WWII, and realized that this whole photography thing, I'd been doing it wrong. Been looking for larger than 645 ever since, then came across this thread. Bingo!

Whoa, seriously? It never would have occurred to me to go the low-fi route with the big Pentax. But now I've just gotta see that rig! Do you have a picture of it?

Yes, it is pretty simple, the hard part it getting the register:

I also made a pinhole, used a lens off a Polaroid Color Pack II, and one from an obscure camera call a Hollywood Reflex.

Shot a series of portraits with the 6x7, 105mm, and Arista.EDU/Fomapan 100. This was on of my faves.

This was one of the last shots I took with my 67 before I sold her.

I'm thinking about going back for more 67 goodness but debating whether I want a Fuji GL670 instead...

 

[Argenticien]

Wow! Brilliant composition and tones, and focus nailed (by you); and wow, the skin texture/pores, hat fabric texture, threads comprising the interlocking "NY" ... by the Pentax glass. Superb scanning job too I suspect; this and various other lenses could resolve that detail, but a lot of photographers will struggle to preserve it in the scanning.

Overall just great.
