i had it in my hands at photokina. af is very quick.i wonder if it has the same/similar chip like nikon d80- canon 400d-sony a-100. i have seen closeup-prints which could not show real sharpness. colors were good. only prototype shown.

you can be sure that we will compare 80mm /85mm zeiss against pentax-equivalents at the relevant subject to camera-position. subject having the same size on film.
i would even go further and use p67-cam with vaccumback and contax 645(vaccum) and contax rts III(vacuum) and compare with pentax 35mm. maybe we can adapt MF-lenses from one system to the other. p67 to contax 645? p67 to contax is possible via m42/c/y-adaptor.

since i am hot for p645 and 70mm back i would even use only p67-lenses and hasselblad 70mm-back. did i confuse you? using p645 and hasselblad elx with 70mm back and compare lenses, if possible adapt on the other system.

alexander gursky has proven with its most expensive 2x3 and 2x6m(twice 2x3 lightjets)-art-posters that its is possible to get the best out of colornegatives(or did he use slidefilm?). at least with the aeroshots he must have used 67cam-mamiya rz67. i suspect with a gyro. but he has used stitching and mosaic-method. the images can be seen actually at basel-kunstmuseum here in my hometown in switzerland at the border of east-france and south-germany. 25 pcs until febr. 24. worth a trip since newest had not been shown before. btw: 2.3 mio usd for a simple shopping-center widedeangle-shot, crazy!

hello all. here are my informations.
1. i have read that using the 67-645-adapter would decrease image-quality. why? there is no optical element. i have heard that there a especially good 645-lenses. so eventually if compared to not so good 67-lenses. e.g. zeiss told us that hasselblad-lenses have the same circle of confusion like the 35mm-contax/yashica-ones.
my friend told me that 67 had always been very sharp.
the problem could be film-flatness. that why there is a astro-company hu-tech offering a vaccum-back.

2. used the 75mm for aeroshots. had to stop down. was not so easy if i needed short exposure. giroscope needed.

3. shift-programs

very clever germand guy, ask for his testfiles. i didnt yet check the program. he has different versions which are not free but low priced. with trial.

there are informations about a certain mr koch-usa in photonet-forum but he cannot be reached. that 35mm-insert is interesting for using exotic films. i thought of polaroid polapan. but this film is hardly to get-not produced anymore. storing in refrigerator would not help since it will dry-out.

hello all. i am proud owner of a cheap used sf7. my first autofocus slr after 35 years in photography!
normally i am panoramic photography-specialist using rotating cameras. but i am looking for a special 35mm-panorama insert for pentax 67.
in josef meehans book panoramic images is an us-adress of a man constructing such an item. does anybody have this adress or informations?
this insert could be very interesting when using with polaroid-instant slide film. if we could still get it? btw: outdated ones are useless the will be deteriorated.(maybe refrigerated?)

are there alternative sites for manuals?
i need one for sf7(europe model), or which version is identical. sf1n? sf10 could be identical to sf7. i have found a manual. has no manull iso-setting, no continious autofocus. focus-priority only. heavy camera, stiff 70-210 zoom-ring. precise autofocus(in viewfinder, i did not yet test my new cam).
