Thank you for commenting Peter, John and Rob!

I like the lone tree image.

Nicely framed shots and an impressive performance by the GR III:

Beautiful winter landscape, nicely processed.

Superb photography! Thank you for sharing.

I have been shooting medium format film on a Pentax 67ii since about 2012, and scanned the films on an Epson V750 flatbed scanner. The scans from the V750 have been okay, especially with negative film, but I have been struggling to get good results with slide film. The flatbed scanner is just not good enough to capture dark shadow detail in dense slide film, and the tonality from the scans are also somewhat lacking. By chance I was able to purchase an old Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro from a photographer here in Norway. The Multi Pro can compete with the Nikon Coolscan 8000/9000, and is great scanner, both in terms of resolution and tonality, but also in build quality. Unfortunately Minolta have no support for these old scanners, and there only a few places in Europe that claim to repair them, so my investment is a gamble. Hopefully the Multi Pro will serve me well for some years to come... Anyway, I am rescanning some of my medium format film endevours and enjoying the scans from the Minolta. Here are some of my recent rescans, a mixture of Fuji Provia 100F and Fuji Velvia 100.

The Pentax 67 SMC 45/4 performs like a 45mm lens on aps-c. On the Pentax 67 camera, on the other hand, this lens corresponds roughly to 22mm FOV on a full frame camera or like the DA 15/4 on aps-c.

The Pentax 67 SMC 45/4 is the widest rectilinear lens in the Pentax 67 system, and is among the best performers. Over at the American forum there is a member "Desertscape" (Steve Rasmussen) who has high competence with the P67 lenses and has written reviews of many of them. His review of the SMC 45/4 is very informative, also about sharpness and other characteristics.

One of the sharpest lenses among Pentax 67 lenses is the SMC 55/4, and if you intend to do landscapes for instance, this could be an okay focal length. I believe the SMC 55/4 is less expensive than the "iconic" SMC 105/2.4. Both of these are very sharp lenses.
