My Pentax 6x7 kit is going up............

...on thursday.
Any takers have until then.
Everything fully functional and optical performance of lenses is PRIMO
The body is in excellent condition and completely light tight.
There is one small bit of leatherette missing. Look above the film door LH on the picture of the shutter.
The Meter prism was new this spring and works perfectly.
Normal lens is 2.4/105 and is excellent. There are a couple "brassing" areas as pictured.
The 3.5/55 is my favorite 67 lens as it is about a 25/28 equivalent compared to 35mm.
This lens shows a lot of wear and has some paint on the barrel. Also the front element has a couple small blems but no effect to IQ.
I made a high contrast pic to try and show these blems.
This lens I bought from KEH as a bargain and the quality of images on the big 6x7 frame is so impressive.
I was able to find the original hood (big bonus). The hood is bayonet mount and a bit of a tight and harsh fit.
Since I first put it on the lens I only removed it for this photo.
MF members with good tenure here will receive a big bonus. A set of Pentax original extension tubes.
Macro with either lens and the huge 67 size frame is beyond spectacular.

$800 for all plus shipping.









look here on the left side of the focus screen to see the missing leatherette small issue no more

Sigh! The temptation is strong... but until I won't get some fresh money I need to stop buying stuff.

The price is really attractive though, and the 6x7 format is excellent. I know that many fashion photographers use this camera for its reliability and practical usability (liek an oversized SLR).

Well I hope one of our members will take it.
I forgot to mention that this is the Mirror Lock Up body which is a big advantage.
Also I would seperate for anyone who requests. I did price it very reasonably to encourage the kit stays together.

I feel terrible because I love this kit and the lenses are superb copies. Alas I have not used the camera since March Embarassed and have no plans to do big landscapes for some time.
I have RF addiction.

Bringing this back up.
I never did sell it here before and decided to keep it rather than ebay.
Well, here we are again. I need to let it go as well as others. Crying or Very sad

Nice price already. Bring proposals for trade etc..............
I'm ears for LTM and M mount lenses.

Serious lust here... unfortunately I'm strapped for cash as well, that kit would be precisely what I want in a camera - 6x7 + wide angle. *sigh*

Last year, I would have sold... 20 shares of stock... now... it would be 250 shares Sad

I feel you Sad
I don't even open the statements anymore.

Dreading taking my gear to ebay.
Hopefully someone has a windfall to re-distribute.
Some trades are interesting as well so please bring them. Smile
