Ok, since everyone's asking... :) $580 CAN for the body, 150/2.8, 90/2.8 leaf shutter, AE prism finder, folding waist-level finder, and a wood grip with a coldshoe on top. That's about $390 US for those who understand that better. :) The 150/2.8 needs some serious repair (the auto/manual sliding switch is missing and the lens doesn't stop down on the camera), and I'll have to see if the leaf shutter needs anything, but even with this I still think it's not too bad. The body and finders are in great shape, though the finders could use some new foam. > > I think that the P67 has an unfair rep as being scarily heavy. It > isn't THAT bad, really.

It feels pretty flimsy to me, like I could pull it apart with my bare hands easily enough. Not sure I want to trust a 6x7 to it. :) Mine came with a Canon strap on it, and its shoulder pad is large enough. Thanks for the stories! chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
