Some Pentax 6x7 shots

[collinb]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/55001392@N08/albums/72157706760856624

On chrome, shot with the late 90mm.
I think I want one of these again. Tough to beat that rendering.
But with just one late lens.

I was given my 67, the question is what lenses does it have, and what would 
shopping cost.

Larry, I'll 'phone her.

Being on Gumtree, I think it probably is legit. Many ordinary people in SA

the pinch & there are plenty of bargains to be had. Most people don't really

Re: Pentax 6x7 for sale

[P. J. Alling]

Actually $150.00 might be about right.  KEH doesn't have a 6x7 or 62 in 
stock now but they do have a 645, for which they want $149.99.  Sadly if 
it's not a recent digital camera or a particularly collectable item, 
older cameras aren't worth very much money in the modern world.   Film 
cameras except for a few highly desirable ones haven't held their values 
at all.

That's the later Pentax 67, not the 6x7. So it's an even better deal.
I'd have that myself if it's for real.

I don't mind a bargain but that's almost theft.  I suspect a scam or a missing

Precisely.

And that XP2 purple base should make scanning easy. At least easier than the
old clear base films.
Or I could just scan the prints on my flatbed.

If it had not had the newer lens with it I probably would have just sold it.
The improved contrast of the newer generation of coatings has proven itself
significant.

I gave up on LF, mostly because after turning 60, and a shoulder injury
about 10 years ago, carrying that bulk of film holders became too much.  I
would sometimes use a rise for landscapes, and maybe a slight tilt for
certain portraits, but not much. Not enough to justify the weight/bulk.

Of course this thing isn't light. Not in the least. But with a pro-pack it's
still less than even the old Nagaoka 4x5 w/ a dozen holders, bag or tent,
etc. 

One of the shots I did on Sat was the new daughter-in-law on a staircase.
For best grip I ended up holding the camera grip-down and resting it on my
braced arm.  Grip-up just allowed too much sway.  Tough to do any better
without a really tall tripod (which I don't have).

Isn't the 6X7 a wonderful camera?  I still miss it, but since I went
totally digital, it was just not practical to develop the film, and my old
lab doesn't want to do it anymore, except for large jobs.

6x7 & others

[Collin B]

Just processed my first 3 rolls from it last night.
Two using XP2 and one of TMax100.
Negs look good.  Printing tonight.

Am looking for a good price for a 6x7->K adapter.
Since it's the later lens version it has the improved design/coatings I'm
thinking it might be a nice, though bulky, portrait lens.

Also, shooting more lately with the K5.
Oldest son got married last month and Sat I re-shot some pics that the hired
photog didn't do as well as they had hoped.
Will post some of them tonight or tomorrow.
The more I shoot the K5 the more I like the results. (F28/2.8, F50/1.7,
FA28-105) But right now I'm looking at a wider lens. Son has an A24/2.8.
Would be useful but it's not awfully wide.
Maybe a zoom (with the mid-point) in the 18-20 range? Recommendations?
Also, a good 200mm would come in handy. Probably not anything longer. Some
200/2.8, or even f/4, would be ok.
Again, recommendations?

Website with Pentax M42 and 6x7 Lens info

[Mark C]

Stumbled into this today:

http://antiquecameras.net/pentaxm42lens.html

It's new to me but maybe others have heard of it. Interesting mix of 
info presented about various lenses and some the outbound links are 
interesting and useful as well. The link above is to the M42 section of 
the site, it also hase a Pentax 6x7 section. Those appear to be the only 
Pentax specific sections but other brands are covered as well. I have 
not looked into the blog posts yet.

Re: 6x7 Shutter Button

[P.J. Alling]

Film equipment is so inexpensive these days, even rather rare stuff that 
you might be better off buying a new body and keeping the one with the 
broken shutter button for parts.

Re: 6x7 Shutter Button

[Mark C]

I may well wind up doing that, or just use a pen or small screw driver 
to press the shutter mechanism inside the 6x7 body. The guy at the local 
repair shop was not sanguine about finding the part he would need to fix 
the shutter button but was going to look for it. If he can find it, the 
repair would be simple and inexpensive.

Re: 6x7 Shutter Button

[Zos Xavius]

I guess using a cable isn't an option since it screws into the shutter release.

Bummer.

If it makes you feel any better I now can't seem to find my SD card
full of detroit pictures. Tempted to punch some walls, but then I'd
just have to fix them later. Meh.

6x7 Shutter Button

[Mark C]

I got inspired to try some macros on film with the 6x7 yesterday - 
finally using a set of extension rings I ought quite a while ago. I was 
getting everything set up to get a snap of a zinnia but when I reached 
for the camera a felt a slight tug and looked down to see that the cable 
had caught on the edge of a yard chair and it and part of the shutter 
button were there, while the camera was in my hand... Ack!


I have the part of the button that the cable was attached to and also 
the lock/unlock switch. Does anyone know if there is another piece that 
goes on the inside to hold it all together? I am thinking of sending it 
to Eric but I doubt that there are parts available anymore. I looked, 
but could not find anything else - this happened on my back patio, which 
is landscape brick, so if there is a part it should be findable. I can't 
find a schematic on the internet for this part...


I can fire the shutter still by poking a small screwdriver into the hole 
where the button used to be, but I hate to see a thing of beauty hobbled 
like this

Re: 6x7 Shutter Button

[Zos Xavius]

There's likely a good chance eric or someone else has a parts camera
that has the pieces you need. You could send him an e-mail with what
happened. Another idea, buy a nonworking 6x7 and get the parts you
need yourself. This might not be much more than the cost of sending it
to someone to fix. 6x7s aren't worth a whole lot these days due to
their commonality. Hell functional bodies without the prism are worth
about $200 on ebay right now. A parts camera would be cheaper yet.

If there was a nut on the inside holding the shutter button mechanism in
place it's hopefully still inside the camera.

Re: 6x7 Shutter Button

[Mark C]

I had the 6x7 CLA done at Peter's Camera Repair -

http://www.yelp.com/biz/peters-camera-repair-grand-rapids

He declined to work on my PZ-1p when I needed something done with it (I 
forget what - sent it to Pentax when they still fixed film bodies) but 
seems to be very competent. He really loved the 6x7 and back then (10+ 
years ago) had a good stash of parts for them.

6x7 Takumar 1:4 600mm, local estate sale

[steve harley]

i have no desire to own this, but it definitely caught my eye; no idea how rare 
it is; it'll be sold in Evergreen (mountain town outside Denver) from  the 
estate of a man who was a member of the local SAAB club with which i'm loosely 
affiliated

[Paul Ewins]

You won't stumble across one every day but they are readily available on eBay 
if you really want one. It is a pretty primitive design and hugely heavy so it 
really is just a collectible nowadays. Its big brother the 800/4 is genuinely 
rare but again isn't that great photographically speaking.

I did a home-brew version of this for my RB67 several years ago.  It was a bit

I eventually sold the RB67 to buy a Pentax 6x7 kit, and it was about then that 
I realised I may as well just shoot with 120 and crop since I'm having to carry 
all that size  weight around anyway.

But I wouldn't say no to an Xpan if I could afford one :)

Pentax 6x7 Hasselblad XPAN equiv. for a lot less

[Darren Addy]

Well, it appears that I'm not getting THIS particular Pentax 6x7 kit
(a ways apart on price). However, I thought I'd pass along the
following for discussion...

Haven't seen anybody ever write about this yet, but people are
spending serious dollars on the Hasselblad XPAN ($1500-$2500) but you
could do the same thing with a Pentax 6x7, a 67 45mm lens, and the
Fotodiox panormama kit for the Pentax 67:
http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Panoramic-Adapter-Pentax-Camera/dp/B002KEJ5DC/

Price comparison:
Pentax 6x7 body with mirror lock-up ($300-350)
45mm f4 lens ($185-225)
Fotodiox adapter ($60)
_
Total cost around $600

We can debate weather this is truly a panorama or just a wide
angle/wide aspect ratio, but the bottom line is that it would do
exactly what the XPAN with a 45mm lens would do for a lot less
(although heavier).
The XPAN also has a 30mm lens available, which would beat the 67 for
wideness but I think most people want rectilinear instead of fisheye.

Another advantage of the 6x7 is that you could shoot 120 film or 35mm
(with the Fotodiox) where with the XPAN you have only 35mm available.

Pentax 6x7 scans, imacon vs. epson 3200

[Paul Stenquist]

Here's a direct comparison of 6x7 negs scanned on an epson 3200 flatbed and an 
Imacon professional film scanner. The lens was the 300/4 and the stop was f32, 
because a lot of depth of field was required here. There was some low lying fog 
in the vicinity as well. So it's not the sharpest 6x7 neg you'll ever see, but 
the scan comparison is very revealing. Know too, that I had been scanning 6x7 
negs with the 3200 for quite a while at this point, And I was very careful to 
eliminate negative curl and worked hard to get the best scan possible. The 
samples here are 100% crops from the digital files.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=12180230


Here's the full image from the Imacon scan. It's been seen here before.

FS: Pentax 6x7

[P N Stenquist]

The ebayer who purchased my 6x7 renigged. She says she was buying it  
for her husband but suddenly realized it's the wrong camera. I don't  
want to relist it now. I'll sell it to a PDML member for $200 plus  
shipping. As far as I know it works fine. It has mirror lock up, the  
metered prism, and the wooden grip. Some missing paint, particularly  
on the back of the door. I last used it about 18 months ago, but it is  
sole as is, since I really don't want to see it coming back here:-).  
You can read all about it and see some pics on the ebay listing here:

Yep. Either they didn't see the offer or had already moved on. Happily  
I sold al my 6x7 gear -- four lenses and a waist level finder -- for  
around $1200, so I'm not complaining. But the camera is of no use to  
me, since all the lenses are gone.

You'll only look crazy with a 6x7 if you do like I did at a NorCal PDML 
meetup some years ago, where I wore that thing around my neck along with my 
*istD, MX and Auto110 (my ZX-30 was in my backpack...).


Thankfully I've thinned the herd quite a bit since then.

 Hey, what's that building? I've been there but I can't remember where/when.

Yes, the 67 is really fun to use, in a quirky steampunk sort of way.

I'm curious as to what broke in your camera because the 67 doesn't
have any rewind mechanism...

There is a roller just to the right of the shutter. It is the metering 
roller for the frame counter. If it gets turned opposite the direction of 
film travel it breaks the frame counter, and thusly breaks the camera.

FS: SMC Pentax-6X7 Shift 1:4.5 75mm

[Brendan MacRae]

In soft case with both original caps.

Lens is in excellent condition shows virtually no wear except for some paint 
loss on the front filter threads. There is also a small, barely decernable mark 
in the front lens coating, 3.5mm long, near the edge. I realize it's nothing 
but purists be warned. Pix on request.

$450 via PayPal or check.

I will throw in free USPS Priority Mail shipping within the US. Outside the US 
will be via Standard Flat Rate Box shipping.

Contact me off list if interested.

Re: Pentax 6x7 video ...

[Paul Stenquist]

After a couple of years of shooting almost exclusively with the 6x7, I  
agree with all that Bill said. I might add that it is a camera that  
can be used very effectively handheld -- even at speeds as low as  
1/30th. A big soft set of steady hands is a great damping device.  
Former list member, Aaron, did some great work handholding the 6x7. He  
had even mastered using MLU for handheld shots. I tried that a few  
times. It's not very difficult if your subject is relatively static.

I believe it was shot at 1/30 second, it's hard to tell from  
looking . I set a heavy Manfrotto tripod up in my living room and  
very carefully levelled it. I then balanced an American nickel on  
the screen and used a cable release to trip the shutter.

I dod not lock up the mirror for that little vid.
Please feel free to post it elsewhere, it's not my bandwidth. ;-)

The 6x7 is a big and noisy camera, I think people hear the noise and  
figure it must be bouncy as well.
Mirror slap is generally not an issue, but the shutter is heavy  
enough to cause lateral vibration if the support is too light or is  
prone to harmonics.

It is not a camera for flimsy tripods.

Re: Pentax 6x7 video ...

Aaron had several sample prints up on the wall of his now defunked

Hand held at ISO 800 and around 20x 24.

They were magnificent

Michael Reichmann did some actual tests of 67 shutter vibration and 
showed the resulting photographs (yes, I know that looking at actual 
results, rather than endlessly arguing theory, is out of vogue):

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/pentax67ii.shtml

Note that Reichmann's results are with a long lens (300mm with 1.4x TC: 
420mm, or roughly equivalent to 210mm on a 35mm camera) and that he 
merely states that one needs only use an adequate tripod to completely 
eliminate the effect.

I was wondering if I should include that link or not. The tripod he used was 
way undersized for the camera lens combination, which was probably pushing 
12 pounds. The only time I've experienced picture ruining vibration with the 
6x7 was when using an undersized tripod (Manfrotto 055) and a shutter speed 
that caused the tripod to ring from secondary harmonics (is that the right 
term?).

Pentax 6x7 and loooong exposures

[Gasha]

Hi all,

Last night we finally got snow here in Europe. Not much, but at least 
some photo oportunities.

Used my Pentax 6x7 MLU for one 4 minute long exposure. Battery started 
to weak because of cold weather, so i decided to shoot something with 
K100D and go sleep :)

Question: Anyone knows about modification to Pentax 6x7 (i have MLU 
version), that astro photographers are using? To be able to shoot 
B-exposures without battery usage.

Can i modify camera without sending to Pentax service?

You have to use an external battery. There is no modification that will allow a 
Pentax 6x7 to 
work without a battery.
Fortunately, it isn't terribly expensive:

Also, do a search for Company 7.  They modify Pentax 67 for
astrophotography work.

At least on my 6x7, the mirror will stay locked without power, but I
think you cant get around the shutter requiring power in bulb mode.

I think, i will leave 6x7 and K100D at home during Easter holidays, and 
use 645 :)
Long exposures (with AA rechargeables) and full metering support without 
any problems.

 At least on my 6x7, the mirror will stay locked without power, but I
 think you cant get around the shutter requiring power in bulb mode.

 Hi all,

  Last night we finally got snow here in Europe. Not much, but at least
  some photo oportunities.

  Used my Pentax 6x7 MLU for one 4 minute long exposure. Battery started
  to weak because of cold weather, so i decided to shoot something with
  K100D and go sleep :)

  Question: Anyone knows about modification to Pentax 6x7 (i have MLU
  version), that astro photographers are using? To be able to shoot
  B-exposures without battery usage.

  Can i modify camera without sending to Pentax service?

  Gasha

 Here is one approach that works.

I just tried it with my 6x7 MLU.
It does not work. As soon as the shutter is released, the mirror comes back 
down.

Pentax 6x7 owner's manual rear cover

[Scott Loveless]

I've been pouring over Sam Haskins' photos because they're, uh, 
educational.  From a photographer's perspective.  Or *insert other 
convenient excuse here*.  Anyway, it looks like Pentax used to be a bit 
more lively with their calendars and camera manuals.  Does anyone know 
if Mr. Haskins shot this: 
http://www.dantestella.com/technical/pentax67.html

That photo is probably not work safe if you work in the US, Canada or 
some other country with rather puritanical opinions about nudity.

I do hope you mean poring rather than pouring...

Sam Haskins was quite a name way back when. He had an exhibition in
London 2-3 years ago and has done some quite interesting stuff
relatively recently.

I've no idea if that's one of his. Could be one of Bob Shell's - he
seems to like his nudes in ruins.

Freudian slip?  And, yes, I meant poring.

Thanks, Bob.  Hadn't thought of that.

I'm pretty sure that is a Haskins image. I have a whole swack of Pentax 
promo material somewhere around the house from that era, and I am quite 
certain that this picture is part of a Sam Haskins Calender or some such,

6x7 Victory

[Kevin Waterson]

So I bid on a this auction and won.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemih=015item=250042038942

2 6x7's for US $260.00.. but wait there's more..
As I was about to leave to pay for these gems the seller contacted me
to tell me one of the camera's is broken, the mirror is stuck in the
lock up position and would I still like to purchase for half price..
 So I recieved them both today, put new battery in and it works fine.

The second is set up for astrophotography and I have no idea how to do
this. (any pointers gladly accepted).

I now own 3 of these luvable beasts and will spend the rest of my days
working on new ways to be nice to them.

Kind regards
Kevin
