My father was a Minolta fan so I grew up learning on an SRT-101. I wanted to get one since I still have a few of his lenses, so I bid on many "working" ones on ebay. Well, none of them worked, but I ended up getting a good price on an XD-11. Just got it today and I am very pleased with it. So smooth compared to the SRT series! Everything appears to work despite the brutal packing job (tiny cardboard box, no padding). And I amassed a few nice lenses in my search.
 
I can't believe the major re-organise I had to do of my cupboard to find a space for that thing! I moved three other (lesser) cameras out! :p

Hi Martin,

That's the 75mm f4.5 on the 67ii. I got a 105mm f2.4 with it as well ... it's actually a smaller lens suprisingly.

I have to admit to being somewhat startled when I unpacked the camera the other day ... even though I knew it was going to be a big beast it still caught me by surprise! :p

It came from RFFer 'barnwulf' in Utah ... I love it! :D

Yay! You got one! What a sexy beast it is too!

So is that a 67 or a 67ii? How are you finding it so far? The 75mm and the 105mm are absolute honey's of lenses.

Hey Gavin,

Yes ... I'm now the proud owner of a 67ii with 75 and 105mm lenses ... for two whole days now. It's absolutely pristine and has only ever had half a dozen or so rolls of film through it! :D

No chance to use it yet but definitely on the weekend. Mind you after loading some Pan F into it tonight I did manage to accidentally press the shutter button ... very light action and a nice shot of the floor I suspect! :eek:

Le vrai rdu (I think that's his handle) described the shutter sound as similar to someone falling down a flight of stairs ... not far off IMO! :p
 
Keith - congratulations! Do share a review with us after you've driven it for a week, and made some photos. I'm particularly interested in how people react to it. :)
 
It's a beautiful Pentax. And hard to beat those 6x7 negatives! Used one back in the day when I was young and stupid and hung out of helicopters shooting ariels. Resolution to spare. Can't wait to see some photos, Keith.
 
Well Keith I hope you love it as much as I love mine - yours certainly looks much cleaner and has the better interface so I'm interested as to how you find it.

I find the thought of hanging out of a helicopter with a Pentax 67 attempting to drag me out with it's weight quite terrifying Pickett! :eek:

I also have P Lynn Miller's Norita 6x6 here at the moment ... we met up for some gear chat and a coffee or three the other day and I have it on loan for a while ... great guy by the way! We spent the whole day together and had a hoot fooling around with our cameras and getting puzzled looks from the locals at Kingaroy ... which is a town about 200k north of Brisbane! :)

I now have several cameras to I need to try out .... like a kid in a lolly shop I am! :D
 
As there seems to be a bit of a theme developing here, I thought I would contribute this pairing. A gun camera and a camera gun (well it certainly feels like it when the shutter is released).

cweg - if you don't mind me asking, where did the square hood come from? I've been looking for some with no luck...

Thanks!

hi Patrick, it's the original Hood for 24 and 28mm. I got it with the lens. I know they are rare, so I was lucky for having one.

Have a look at ebay there's the fab 28/3.5 incl. the hood
