This is an excellent camera. It has two faults inherent with the design. First, the film is slower to load than other medium format cameras. Second, you cannot change the back mid-roll. These are simply inherent aspects of Pentax's decision to model this camera after 35mm film bodies. But, the benefits of that decision outweigh the burdens in my view. The glass for the 6x7 system is great.

I have tried two Pentax 67ii camera bodies over the last two years. On both occasions, the body suffered from defects in the film advance mechanism. The film advance lever binds and will not advance the film. This can happen when loading a roll, or mid-roll. Either way, it renders the body useless and completely destroys confidence. I searched the internet, this problem is pervasive and well-known.
Get the Pentax 6x7 MLU instead.
