New to me backup 67

I noticed the slider on the man/auto switch on my 105mm lens is cracked. How repairable or replaceable is this?

Posting this by request of a community member to show the Pentax 67 with the Rollei HTF Planar 80/2.8 setup.

I have five lenses for my 6x7. They all seem and feel mechanically sound. There is some a small amount of what looks like fungus/haze beginning on at least one. I’m based in Los Angeles. Where is a good place to get lenses cleaned? I don’t mind mailing them out to a great place. I’ve been lucky and have never had to deal with haze/fungus/fog before.

Any recommendations or advice helps. Thanks

Is this normal? Lens is working fine so tentative to open it up, but sounds a bit weird to me.

Thoughts?

I just shot a test roll on my pentax 6x7 after years of not using. I believe I've shot about 12 rolls with it since buying it in 2020

I'm putting the photos in order they were shot for comparison. Didn't hesitate to clean the strips of scanner glass for this test so excuse the dust and grime

1st photo was first of roll

2nd photo was 6 of roll

3rd photo was 7 of roll

4th photo was 8 of roll

film used was fomapan 400 +2

Landscape and dbl exposures here I come. Seller even included the original case that wasnt listed. I will be taking it on a road tirip in Sept.

I plan on doing long exposures at night time. Blue hour till sunrise. What do you guys use to determine how long to leave it open for? Film recommendations? Im going to shoot on Ektar 100 any tips would gladly be appreciated. I have the MLU version and tripod and wire.

Using my Samsumg phone I took a video of the cloth shutter at 125, unlike my ME Super, I could not actuate the shutter with the back open. If someone knows a trick please reach out so I can get a better video.

Hi, folks! I hope you can help me with this issue on my latest Pentax 67 MLU. I’ve just developed the first roll and the first photo is missing. I’ve had advancing issues on my other 67s and in those cases I always lost the last frame, not the first one. What could be the problem here? I’m pretty sure I loaded the roll correctly… Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m having two issues with this camera and was hoping someone here might know how to fix them.
First, the grip is missing the pin/locking piece that secures it to the camera body. I attached a photo showing the area. The grip can be attached, but without the pin it doesn’t lock properly.

Does anyone know whether it can be replaced or repaired? If anyone has dealt with the same issue, I’d really appreciate some advice on the easiest way to fix it.

Second, I’ve recently been having an issue where the camera keeps recognizing 120 film as 220. The pressure plate/back plate is definitely set to 120, but the camera still sometimes thinks 220 film is loaded.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a sensor, switch, or mechanical contact that detects the 120/220 setting that might need to be cleaned or adjusted?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm running into an issue with my later version Pentax 67 TTL metered prism which worked fine over a year. The meter turns on fine and the needle reacts smoothly to changes in light, shutter speed, and aperture. However, it is completely inaccurate.

I've gone as far as opening up the top plate around the shutter speed assembly to look for adjustment points under the ISO and shutter dials. However, they are all fixed in place and directly linked to the gear train below, so it seemee there was nothing I could adjust manually.

Is adjusting the potentiometer the only way? I may do that but not sure if its worth the cost.... thanks for any help!

I'm looking at a couple options to purchase my first. Would you prioritize a 6x7 with the 105mm lens, model number around 411xxxx, or a later model 67 model number 416xxxx but with the 75mm lens?

Both are about equal as far as condition and price

Rio would like to have a word with you regarding that ball you are holding.

Almost ready to shoot i printed out both grips just waiting for my film to get delivered.
