The P67 is a really unergonomic camera, ironically it's worse with the grip since that's the side you're focusing/adjusting shutter speed with so you can never really use it. The base of the camera is full of square edges and it's heavy obviously. The eye-level prisms on the 67 are super heavy because glass etc.

I was also curious why there was so much grain on these. I like the way they look, but seemed super grainy. Is that just the result of the Ultrafine Extreme 400 cheap film?

poo poo, I was all ready to buy a Pentax 645 from Japan on eBay. Now this thread has me thinking I should get a 6x7 instead.

I have had great success shooting 35mm with my Pentax Spotmatic. I almost always prefer a 28mm lens. But now, I am now for more detail and sharpness in images like this.

A 645 (or 645N) with a 45mm lens seems like one path. Even though I have gone without it for years, the idea of autofocus is appealing for the times when there are human beings or other live subjects in the frame.

A Pentax 6x7 seems more in keeping with my current all-manual tradition. I would want a 55mm lens to feel equivalent to 28mm in 35, right?

I've had a Yashica 124G for years, but have never taken to the TLR viewfinder or 80mm lens.

Can someone recommend a good cable release for the 67? I want to try some long exposure shots. I'm guessing any threaded release will work, but was curious what you guys are using.

Probably a long shot, but are there any "remote" options available?
