But I'll have to wait another couple of years before my budget will let me spend on a decent 67II equipment. :-( Juan Diaz

"Disadvantages of 6X7" part 2
I have found this rather informative artikel in the meantime. Take a look at what he has to say about shutter-induced vibrations. http://luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/pentax67ii.shtml He's pretty much saying the same thing I guess. Juan Diaz
Re: Pentax 67II
I guess you can't come in from the street on your vacationtrip to NewYork, and buy this camera in the first fotoshop you encounter, and without previous ordering? Otherwise it seems like a pretty good and tempting idea. :o( Juan Diaz Dan Scott wrote: On Saturday, August 30, 2003, at 05:19 PM, Juan Diaz wrote: Is there anyone in this forum who'll be kind enought to tell me, what the recommended price is for a Pentax 67II body in either UK or USA.

"Disadvantages of 6X7"
As I read Danny Gonzales articles about the medium format cameras at his site, I find it worring that under the description of disadvantages of the 6x7 format he says: "Mirror slap becomes a real problem as compared to most 66/645's" As I understood the 67II should also have a mechanism that holds the mirror up if you want it to. So where's the big problem anyhow? Juan Diaz http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/go1.html#pentax67

Ohhh.one of those.They (opinions and urban legends based on ignorance) seems to permeate all areas of life.

Re: "Disadvantages of 6X7"
I guess MLU stands for "mirror lift up"? I'm using an old Contax where the mirror is being hold by pushing at a button, but only as long as you push. Does the 6X7 have any feature whereby the mirror can be pushed up without you pushing? It will seem rather trivious asking for this if it doesn't vibrate, but I once heard (again) that you get better pictures if the mirror is up.

You can balance an American nickel on edge on the focussing screen of the 6x7 and release the shutter (MLU not used). The nickel will not fall over. The camera is that smooth. It is rather a noisy camera, perhaps the person who started this legend was standing beside one in use and decided that anything that loud had to vibrate.
