Pentax 67II Medium Format Film Camera

Pros: Stunning slides, price, ergonomics and support.

Cons: None whatsoever

The Bottom Line: If you don't require the use of special backs then this camera is a good choice. Great value for money and a joy to use.

Review: I have now had this camera for about 3 months now so I thought I'd write a review of my experiences so far. I bought the camera as a limited edition set with the AE prism finder, waist level finder, standard matte focusing screen, another special focusing ...

Pros: really solidly built! everything well marked. takes great photos.

Cons: doesn't come with a professional photographer as an optional accessory

The Bottom Line: too much for this amateur. This camera will separate the pros from the rest of us.

Review: I got a chance to play around with a friend's Pentax the other day when we hopped up to Herziliya. The first thing I, as the most amateur of photographers, noticed was the weight. My usual point and click type camera, and my digital camera are both...

Pros: ease of use, portability of previous accesories

Cons: weight, flash attaching system

Review: This is my 3rd Pentax 67, and there is quite a departure from the earlier models. I do a lot of fast action shooting, and this camera works very well. There is portability of every pentax 67 lens that I own, 3 of the older finders, and the older handle...

Pros: Good, cheap, sharp, professional

Cons: All remedied with intelligence

The Bottom Line: Go for it. And if you can afford it, buy the 67II---it's awesome and much improved.

Review: Okay, we all know the complaints. It's big, it's heavy, it shakes, it won't sync, it lacks interchangeable backs, the battery dies fast. All right already. The fact is ALL of these problems have their remedies, which makes the Pentax 67 (old and new...

Pros: Handles great,fantastic lenses,very durable

Cons: Sync.speed,interchangable backs especially polaroid back

The Bottom Line: If you are looking to buy a medium format system with reasonable price versatility and excellent quality then I cant recommend any other system hiugher than this one

Review: I have worked with this camera for over ten years although it has certain disadvantages such as a slow sync speed 1/30 which for fast moving items and fill in flash while shooting outdoors is very slow. Pentax has 2 leaf shutter lenses one 90mm and one ...

Pros: Ideal 6x7 format, Superb performance and affordable.

Cons: Huge and heavy, Slow sync.

Review: This is the third generation Pentax 6x7 with an updated design and improved handling. The two previous models were heavy and rather uncomfortable to hand hold. This latest version has a comfortable right hand grip built into the body. The hybrid metal...

Pros: image quality, ease of use, speed

Cons: not widely available, non-removable back

Review: This is a controversial Medium Format camera. Some love it, some absolutely hate it. I'm one of the former.

It's amazing having that huge 6x7cm negative in a body I can pick up and use like a 35mm SLR (albeit a rather huge one, that is!). I...
