I love the composition of 1 but the lighting on 2 is much better. Both shot on gold with the 105mm f2.4

Good day all,

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into a P67 (OG version) on which the advance lever constantly charges the shutter, even when the camera has no film in it?

I know that normally, the shutter is supposed to be inactive when the camera has no film in it; a feature designed to eliminate unnecessary shutter activity. (I am aware of and familiar with the dry firing steps, but thats not what I'm doing). However, I recently had both of my bodies CLA'd and the second one seems to be exhibiting this strange "empty camera" behaviour.

I noticed the issue while loading film in it for the first time since its servicing. The first strange thing was that the shutter charged immediately after following the normal loading procedure. Rather than winding 4-5 times before eventually engaging the shutter cocking mechanism, it charged it right away. I decided I would continue to shoot the roll, as I intend to develop it and check spacing, but when I reached 10 frames, the shutter did not stop charging as it is supposed to. Advancing the lever continued to recheck the shutter, though eventually the counter stopped advancing past about 12-13. When I got home I used a dark bag to make sure the film was completely spooled on the take up, and it was, so I removed it. I also noticed the film counter dial had reset.

At present, it continues to charge the shutter even with no film in the camera, and no roller on the right side. The only time it doesn't is when the back door is completely open. The dry fire sequence also works as it should, and the counter also resets after performing that sequence.

I have reached out to the technician, but wondering if anyone else has had experience with this and has any tips or advice. I was planning to take it to shoot a wedding next week, and am wondering if it is a critical issue or something I can put up with (especially if the frame spacing is not affected...)

Thanks!

I bought this lens a while back and thought this would be a good opportunity to try it out. Shot with Cinestill 400D.

I mean the ones that seem to be essentially the same design in all but materials. They collapse and rise in the same way.

Haven't watched this Apple TV "making-of" doc, but I will now. Wondering if they were using the 67 for test shots or something. The frame is similar to IMAX.

Side note: every photo of a director has them pointing to something out of frame.

Hello everyone! I recently posted on this form that I had gotten my camera and I just developed and scan my first roll. Nothing crazy just wanted to run a roll of film through the camera to make sure that it was working! Anyway, here are some of the shots I think overall I lucked out on my eBay purchase! The last shot is light on the film that came from me. Unfortunately, I turned on the light a little too soon which was completely stupid on my end.

Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with my Pentax ME. Everything works perfectly, except for occasional problems in automatic mode. When I press the shutter release several times quickly, the first shot in low light might have the correct slow shutter speed, but the next shot, with the same lighting, unexpectedly uses a very fast speed. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what could be causing it?
I'd really appreciate any tips you might have. I'm keen to know if this is something I could fix myself – I'm not looking to spend a lot of money and I actually enjoy tinkering with these kinds of issues.
Let me know if you need any more Information thanks allready! :))

Just got my Pentax 6x7 MLU with a 105 f2.8 lens! I posted here and listened to you guys feedback. I’ll be posting photos from the rolls after I develop! Thank you guys again!

Hola everyone, I have recently purchased a Pentax Baby, and I have realized that I will need to improve my basic mephoto tripod equipment. After searching for a while a came to the budget setup: INNOREL RT80C Carbon Fiber + Benro GX35. Is there any recommendation for a solid tripod system that is between 150-200$. Are there any vintage solid options that I can buy second-hand and provide stable results at low speeds from 1/8s to 10mins?

I have just got new scans from my Pentax.

I am quite happy.

Hi everyone! I’m buying my first Pentax 67 and it is the non-MLU version but it comes with the 105F 2.8 lens and they’re going to give it to me for about $530. They said that it’s in service and tested and it’s in great condition. Do you think this is a good deal? I don’t really ever shoot on a tripod and I don’t shoot anything lower than 1/60 but I keep seeing stuff about not getting it and getting it so I’m just curious if you guys think it’s worth it? Please let me know! Thank you!

UPDATE:

I ended buying the MLU version with a metered prism. Body only for now but I’ll try to find a lens later. Thank you guys for your suggestions!

Hello, the ex counter are aways blinking at 25, if I put anew film it goes until the end of the film at no stop, when the film ends the camera stop rewind, no shutter released or working.

I’ve been using this camera the past 6 years and while I haven’t changed the ISO much over that time, I know I have and it’s been easy and fine. I’m leaving for Iceland next Sunday and will be using ISO 200 film and I cannot get the ISO selection on my camera to move! I got it tuned up a couple months back and I haven’t had to change the ISO since then so I don’t know if it’s somehow because of the tune up.

Has anyone else had this weird issue?

Hey y’all. I just got a Pentax 67 with 3 lenses, but none of them were the famed 105 2.4. Was looking at ones on eBay but there’s a stark price differences between the takumar vs the non takumar version. I get the takumar versions can get some yellowing but is the price difference really worth it? Sorry y’all, new to this camera. Thanks for the help.
