That wasn't the question MattyH, the question was about the 67. Please see the title also.

Pentax and Pentax-related only is the forum rule, so it fits that profile.

Please don't double post on the same subject, it will start to split the replies across two threads.

Your new thread is already out there, so I'd ask you to concentrate on that one.

Many thanks.

I know it's hard to resist sometimes, but please keep to Pentax-related subjects. We're talking here about the Pentax 67, other marques being off topic.

Many thanks.

PentaxDan is Daniel Bell. If you ask him, he will answer I'm sure, but as he doesn't frequent the forum 100% of the time a PM will be most appropriate. If you don't know who Daniel Bell is then check out the Team section.

When the answer is known it can most happily be in the forum, it's not a secret.

As discerned by the previous poster, bettyswollocks, it sounds like the outcome has already been decided!

Not a reunion, but Reunited! Here's the core of what, over 30 years ago, was the Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Appreciation Society. This is our first meet up since those days and was at Croma in Manchester last night.

I'm sharing this because I wanted to and because even though it's not a technical marvel it shows how useful the Pentax Q can be. Plus a table top tripod!

Left to right around the table we have Ray Nichol, Bryan Lomas, George Ingram, Me, Jackie Ingram, Beryl Lomas, Lynn Boleyn and Sue Riley.

PS It was the 18-135mm lens, ISO 3200, 1/10s and f/4.5, hand held. To maintain the darkness I used a -1 EV exposure compensation.

This was a pretty dismally lit corner of a cottage at Blists Hill Victorian Town. The K-5 focused, but only after using the candle as a point, but the low light capability was very pleasing in terms of image quality.

The 67 is a tremendous camera and will be instantly familiar as it's effectively a "35mm on steroids". The viewfinder is wonderful and the results are staggering.

Yes, you could pop it over your shoulder and keep another two lenses in large jacket pockets, but it will all be very heavy. Also, the camera works best with its wooden grip, so that adds more bulk. But at least it's not boxy. It should also be up to heavy use and should be reasonably priced. Get a MU 6x7 or a 67 body and they will be much more reliable than the alternative East European and Russian models, or even the Fuji rangefinders.

That started off as a very obscure question, but as it's unfolded all was revealed.

To get the answer to your question I would suggest sending a PM to PentaxDan to ask.

I wasn't involved in the selection, so can't throw any light on it.
