Subject: What to do with a dead 6x7 (or two)
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~pentaxmx/6x7/
I learned the hard way that early 6x7s can't be repaired. The one on the right is the early version (mk 1?) with the "checker" spool release while the left hand one is the later style, still without MLU.
The finders are equally beaten up and I sometimes wonder if they have some
sort of "clumsy" feng-shui built into them as almost every 6x7 finder I have
seen looks to have been dropped at least once. Still, I guess most were "pro
gear" and got used often enough that an accident was inevitable.
I'm still looking for a cheap lens for the left hand camera, so if anybody has a non-functional or fungus ridden 6x7 lens that they would part with cheaply please let me know.
