Any hope of a pentax 6x7- 67 - 67ii digital back??
What does the Hasselblad back cost, and how many Pentax users would be prepared to pay that much? You can bet that Pentax has already done these sums. G

Any hope of a pentax 6x7- 67 - 67ii digital back??
I still don’t believe the cost of the sensor has much to do with someone making a door for a 67 which is compatible with digital backs. I am not suggesting Pentax make another digital medium format in addition to the 645d coming out later this year, I would just like the older 67 bodies to be co...

645D cancelled - or not
Not At ALL!!!!! From dpreview the interview http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/other/2008/03/28/8206.html The important points: * Current cameras well received and the merger dustup has settled so morale is high. Hoya supports camera business and the camera division has a great deal of inde...

645D cancelled - or not
Hi Kris, "crop factor" will be 1.27 for 645 lenses. For comparison it would be 0.79 for 35mm. The "old" 645 lenses will not be able to show the full potential of the new sensor and only focus manually. I don't expect the prices on those to go up all that much. I would want mostly the new lenses de...

Competition for 645D?
No, sadly not a competition to win one... Just saw that on another forum. Seems Mamiya are also trying to make digital medium format more affordable (I use that word loosely). But $10,000 for body, back and lens - the only news of price I've heard about the Pentax 645D is from Benjikan sayin...

Priorities Changing
News is curently breaking that the Pentax 645D is now on the back burner and is "no longer a priority for Pentax." I can't say I'm surprised, and I'm certainly not surprised now we have the new merger with Hoya. A 645D would be a low priority for me buying one as well.

Priorities Changing
I suspect they would be aiming this at the lower-Hasselblad bracket (the ones who need a house as well as a camera) rather than the CaNikon machinegunning reportage guys I have heard the 645D is back on the radar but lost amongst the K-7 PR Anyone heard anything?

Japanese Festival Images - Pentax 67II
<snip>...instead going for another nikon dslr. You could get a Pentax DSLR and use your 645 lenses with an adaptor... :wink: actually i have pentax k10d, which is my main workhorse, but if you really want good result for shooting landscape, medium format plus slides(rvp?) is probably a real...

67 Beattie focus screen alignment
Hi everyone, I've been a P67 user for 6 years or so and love it. I've just fitted a Beattie Intenscreen to aid me with low light focusing. I've fitted the screen myself but think it'd probably be best to get a good tech to adjust it so the screen focus is the same as the film plane focus. Any sugg...

67 Beattie focus screen alignment
I might be wrong but I'm sure the business side of the screen is the bottom one therefore if it is sitting in the frame properly, and I cant see any reason why it shouldn't, all will be well. Not having a 67 but a 645 I'm assuming that it is a similar mechanism.

Rear Converter A
The sad thing is that manufacturers didn't see digital coming. If Pentax had allowed for a digital back on a 645, things would be rather different. G

Help! Anyone found a non-backpack fits a Pentax 67ii well?
Big Ted. Have you thought about a photographers vest. A waistcoat with many padded pockets to carry all ancillery equipment balanced over your upper torso.(Plus a smallish bag for the camera). A fishermans waistcoat will do the same job but not padded. There is useually a large pocket at the back wh...

Help! Anyone found a non-backpack fits a Pentax 67ii well?
I use the biggest Billingham there is for my 645 stuff, cant remember the model name/number. A better, much better idea is to get an assistant to carry your back pack and you just take what you need from it whenever you want.

Pentax 67, 6x7, 67ii Waist Level Finders - are they interchangable?
That's probably because when the economy was looking robust at this time last year a lot of MF cameras were being bought out of curiosity by people who'd never had the chance to use one before, hence prices were going upwards. Now folks are liquidating non-essential assets you'll find a lot of thos...

Update - Thanks for responses I've taken a flyer on this and bought a WLF from Mifsuds (10 day return, 3 months g'tee). They think it fits - nice people - but I'll feed back when I get it..... Appreciated! Trying not to get into the film v digital discussion :o) but I use both for different t...

Kris, I think it is a bargain. The usual places have them from £159 (E+) to £369 (mint), I would say this one is mint. It was a poor listing, '... I dont know much about this...' etc. and oof picture. There was only one other bidder but I got it by the skin of my teeth - 90p! The set-up in the pictu...

I'm bidding on a Polaroid back at the moment. Got to go, there are two men in white coats at the door. I thought Polaroid film had been discontinued? What type does it take 47? I've still got a 5x4 back and a couple of cameras. Not used them for years. One has a decent lens on it Rodenstock in a Pro...
