I've never noticed my 6x7 having excessive vibration. The Super Program I 
sold you had a lot more vibration than the 6x7.

That's like the barista at the cafe nearby, chatting with me over a  
cup of coffee last week about science fiction: "... I like the really

Don't know about Usenet but Michael Reichmann did a pretty thorough 
examination on the Luminous landscape web site: 
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/pentax67ii.shtml
He notes that when he switched to a Gitzo 1349 CF tripod with an Arca 
Swiss ball head the problem went away.

I found a lot of Usenet posts on the subject, but all the threads 
quickly degenerate into JCO-level irrationality and name calling.

With the 88, there's no such thing as good working order. They only ever
survive the next frame by the skin of their badly machined teeth.

This is funny. After reading that, I wondered what kind of idiocy I was 
spreading around Usenet back in the day, and I ran across a thread here:

A question for Pentax and Usenet oldtimers

2007-05-03 Thread Ralf R. Radermacher
I'm looking for a humorous article published on Usenet about ten years
ago on the shutter noise of the P67 and its effects on image sharpness
("Sonic Subject Relocation"). 

Just wanted to show it to a friend and it appears I've lost it. Anyone
on here who still has the article?
