Re: Changing focusing screen om Pentax 67II?
I did change the screen - no problem - in my Pentax 67II. But the screen came without the black frame. So I had to exchange the old one with the new Plit Field Screen. The creens are very easy an convenient to change if it comes in a frame. Is it possible to get empty frames or frames with a screen?

Thanks Darren I am starting to get nervous... I just emailed and talket to thu guy on the phone. He seemed to be a very straight foreward guy. HE did aerial photography with it ( he a amateur pilot him self. But haven't used it since 2001. I had him put in new batteries and his photo dealer said it worked perfectly. He did fantastic photos like this: http://skagen.dk/2011/11/07/fotos-fra-skagen365-event-pa-grenen/ I just hope I actually GET the camera.

Re: Looking into getting a pentax 67II
Thanks for the imput, my main concerns are gone . Now I just need to gather the cash together and find one. I was looking into probally the 100mm and either the 45mm or 55mm lenses to get started, the 540 will be a definate purchase once I recover financially, and I guess I'll have to finnaly break down and get a real heavy duty tripod(know of any resonably priced ones for the student on a budget?).

Re:getting a pentax 67II
Matt, I had an early Pentax 6X7, the one without mirror lock up. The standard 105/2.4 lens was superb in every way. When I got a late model 55mm I was even further amazed. Working in a chemical darkroom yielded beautiful prints, color and black and white. If you are going to scan images the $500 class of flatbed scanners will do good work. It will take an expensive drum scan to equal an optical enlargement when print size gets over 16X20. You know to get a solid tripod and ball head and a bag of rocks to hold it down. Even with MLU camera motion can be a problem because of the big horizontal focal plane shutter.Eventually it was the weight of the gear that got to me when I started doing more travel photography. I have a pair of lightweight Fuji rangefinders in 645 when I need MF. I have a good 90mm enlarging lens I'll part with if you are interested.

Looking into getting a pentax 67II
Well as i stated in the subject line I am looking into getting a pentax 67II, I'm a photo major in college and have recently been usinga 4x5 in the lighting studio, now that I got a taste of larger negatives I want a medium format. I have been a long time user of pentax(got my first k1000 se in 7th grade), and i still shoot 35mm via my LX. I've done some reading on the 67 and understand that vibration and a slow shutter sync are two major draw backs. I primarily want the 67 for outdoor photos where i dont wanna take my 20D, as well as some studio work as well. but the 20d can work in the studio well too. So I was hoping to get some feed back from owners on dealing with camera shake, fill flash, and the slow shutter. Is handholding such a problem that I wouldn't be able to use 400iso film, and lets say the 105mm lense for for handheld shots around town? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Looking into getting a pentax 67II
The vibration problem is greatly exaggerated. It's the product of some photographers who tried to shoot with long lenses, long shutter speeds and flimsy tripods. You should have no trouble shooting handheld outdoors with ISO 400 film. I've done quite a bit of that as have others with no problem.

You should be able to handhold the 6x7 at slower shutter speeds than 35mm. 1/60th with the 105 is very doable. Fill flash is enough of a bother that I use reflectors (not so good if windy). The camera is definitely not geared to fast moving action, so the slowish shutter isn't normally a big deal, though I have a few pictures that are kind funky because of it.

Re: Looking into getting a pentax 67II
I've never had much of a problem with mirror shake even with the 400mm. As long as you have a sturdy tripod and use MLU and a cable release you should be good. With shorter lenses you can get away with shorter shutter speeds, even hand held, without much problem especially with 400 speed film. I hand hold mine with ease. I use the optional hot shoe hand grip, mind you, but it's not a necessary option to hand hold the camera (especially since it has a built-in grip). With the AF540FGZ flash I just set the camera to Aperture Priority (puts the camera in Manual Mode w/flash attached) and meter that way and use the flash for fill. The flash is set to TTL when shutter button is pressed halfway down. Seems to work well this way. Here's two samples taken with just this set up, hand held: http://www.members.aol.com/bmacrae/k_n_t.jpg *ignore the Newton rings by the bottom of the pic, I didn't bother to re-scan...also, notice the slight movement of the toddler's hand (@ 1/30 sec, it's best if everyone holds real still) P67II, 90mm, 1/30 sec, fill flash, warming filter, Kodak Portra 400VC one more: http://www.members.aol.com/bmacrae/courtney.jpg P67II, 165mm, 1/30 sec, fill flash, Kodak Portra 400VC These are easier shots to get since they're both outside. Inside under low light you'll have to watch out for shadows and red eye. The 540 has a modeling light which can be used as a pre-flash red eye reducer. I'm not convinced that the flash is high enough when mounted on the grip to be off-axis enough to prevent red eye by itself. -Brendan --- Matt Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well as i stated in the subject line I am looking into getting a pentax 67II, I'm a photo major in college and have recently been usinga 4x5 in the lighting studio, now that I got a taste of larger negatives I want a medium format.

Bruce Not the kiss of death. If they called it a commemorative edition (LX Gold) I would think differently. But since they call it a Limited edition, I have to think that it is the end of the line for the Pentax 67. A lot of companies come out with a limited edition as the last model of a particular product. Perhaps they want to concentrate on the next generation 645 (digital back anyone?) or the Mythical-magical Digital SLR. Christian

Norm wrote: I have the newer 45/4 (older 6x7), it's one hell of a great performer IMO, go for it! Norm I am more and more gravitating towards the 67II with the 45/4 and 75/2.8. I'm still quite attached to the 645N but I cannot hide the fact that the constantly recuring film flatnes problems with this camera bothers me. I had originally decided on replacing the 645N with the 645NII and hoping that the new one have less of a problem with film flatness. Also, buying two more lenses for it; the 35/3.5 and the 300/5.6. This gives a five lens outfit (35, 45, 75, 120, 300 + perhaps the 1,4X converter) that weight less than an F5 with 20-35/2.8, 35-70/2.8, and 80-200/2.8. This would be a complete, manageable MF system. Something similar would be impossible with the 67II while maintaining reasonable weight. Using both the 67 and 645 systems is of course tempting albeit an expensive solution. The idea is that I can use the complete 645 systems on more causual hikes when I'm not sure of what I will shoot. The 67II will be used on more planned shots and also for aurora borealis shooting. Both MF system will be augmented with 35mm gear. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Nefarious Pentax 67II Purchase Plan - Phase 2 Complete/Phase 3 Commencing
In my attempts to not get killed buying a Pentax 67II I have so far accomplished the following: Phase 1. Non-chalantly talk about the camera system with wife. "Yes it is a lot of money". "No, I won't want another camera after this one." "Yes, with the larger frame size I might be able to sell some work allowing it to pay for itself". "That's not true, you'll get your new kitchen table, we'll be able to build the retaining wall next to the house, don't worry." Phase 2a. Purchase a portable stereo system and 6 CD's for her father and have it shipped to his house as a surprise. "You're so sweet honey. I just know he's going to love it. He never gets surprises anymore. I'm telling him this was all your idea and I had very little to do with it. " Phase 2b. Send my wife to go look for the kitchen table. Phone rings... "They still have them. What size do you think we should get 5.5', 6' or 6.5'. Me: I think the middle size would be right for our kitchen, what do you think? "I think so to she says". Me: OK, well see if they have one that's in good shape and that you will definitely be happy with. Phone rings again: "They have one honey, it's exactly the same tone as the cabinets and I know I'll love it." Me: OK, go ahead and get it then. Phase 3a. Why I'm at work on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Tom C. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: Where to Purchase Pentax 67II
On Sat, 17 Feb 2001, Thomas Cakalic wrote: Can anyone recommend a good mailorder place to purchase a 67II? Listed prices appear to vary greatly. I don't want the cheapest if the place is disreputable, but I'm not going to pay list either. Any chance of geting a better deal if purchased with finder and lens as opposed to body alone? To give you a rough idea about prices, I could get you the 67 II body for $2149 CAN (about $1430 US). The AE pentaprism finder would run about $770 CAN ($513 US), while a 105/2.4 lens would cost $649 CAN ($430 US). If you wanted the hotshoe grip, that's $340 CAN ($227 US). So you could get the body, grip, AE finder and lens for about $3900 CAN ($2600 US). I'm not sure how that compares to US prices because I've never compared them. I expect we're competitive, but we don't sell too many of these so it's hard to say. :) If the price differnce is reasonably small, I'd consider buying from a local store rather than mail order, provided that they at least knew something about the camera.
