INTRODUCTIONThe Pentax 67 is a medium format SLR camera made in Japan in 1989. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Pentax 67 is the successor to the older 6x7. The 67 has a full electronic shutter. Although I never owned a Pentax 67, I used them from time to time. It's a solid, robust, reliable camera, which is part of a whole system of nice lenses and accessories. The only drawback of this system, in my opinion, is the very loud shutter/mirror, and the 6x7 size which I disllike. I prefer square, which is more easy to archive, and compose within the viewfinder. But this is purely an opinion, I understand people who stick with this camera, as it is very good. CONCLUSIONIf you want to get into good quality medium format without braking the bank, the Pentax 67, or even an older 6x7 is pretty awesome. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
