<p>The IQ is fine as far as I can tell, having used it on the Pentax and also on the digital Leica S2 medium format dSLR. Due to the long focusing...
<p>Consider that it may have had a frontal impact... mine did when I got it used and it looked fine. But there was a plastic part broken in the...
<p>Thanks, Lannie... My portfolio in Photo.net has not been updated for a while, and represents a wide variety of gear.<br> <br /> Leica improved...
<p>I'm also comfortable calling this "medium format"... this term covers a lot of territory. Is 127 film a "medium format" format? Remember the...
<p>Consider that the 645D can use P67 lenses on an adapter, as if native with auto diaphragm... but of course without auto-focus or ability for...
<p>Congratulations on your P67, this will be very nice to use. For your NEXT lens ;-) you might consider a 75 or 90mm.</p>
<p>The camera is a gem, essentially a larger 35mm SLR. Given your intent to shoot "portrait, landscape, close photography", you might consider the...
<p>"I am looking at my 135/4 Super-Multi-Coated MACRO-TAKUMAR. It does not focus down to 1:2. By itself it goes to 1:3.5."<br> Well, that's what I...
<p>The original Pentax67 macro lens is the 135mm f/4, which allows continuous focus to 1:2, half life-size. Your extension tubes will get it in...
<p>My first concern would be image coverage... will this lens (made for 56x56mm film) cover 6x7 (55x70mm)? I suspect there would be a problem...
<p>You'll want to include Leica in your medium format list... The Leica S system has a sensor about the same dimensions as the Pentax, is more...
<p>There have been a lot of lenses using Thorium Oxide and/or Lanthanum glass (and some eye pieces too, a situation more likely to be...
<p>And I believe this lens was intended from the start for use on Pentax's digital "645 format" cameras... The "DA" designation is the clue......
<p>Hi Missy- sorry to hear of the progressive condition. My first thought is to transition to a camera system with shake reduction, either built...
<p>Also, there are differences in how the focusing spot looks in the viewfinder field in different 670/690 models, the I, II, and III have minor...
<p>There was probably no production run after 2005, though I bought one NIB for $275 in 2007 when B&H sale price was $430. And in 2003 the...
<p>Hi -- I too have a Fuji GW670III, and I think John is referring to a different camera, the more recent folding 670 offered under both Fuji and...
<p>I have the Pentax 67 and the GW670III Pro, sibling of the 690. They are both big but there's a big difference! I found it very easy to become...
<p>We are fortunate that there are only a few so-so lenses in the Pentax-67 lineup, and even those have their defenders! So it can come down to...
