The 67/55mm is like having an old fashioned syrup bucket on my K-1, but it sure takes nice pictures and the minimum distance to target is great!
It’s big on the 6x7 body. Only other lens I have is the 105 and it makes that thing look reasonable.

Get yourself a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180mm f 2.8 some time, and the 67/55mm will seem small again!

I live in Pennsylvania and a 67 55mm/4 lens showed up from Japan faster than a camera bag from Virginia. Camera bag purchased Sunday around 5pm EST and the lens at 3:17 pm on Monday. Still waiting on the right-hand grip that was dropped off at the post office in Thailand on 11 April.
Some of these Japanese deliveries are amazing. I ordered a lens on Thursday evening late and had it in hand before lunch time on Monday. I don't know how they do that.

MH-RA77 metal screw-in hood for the 645 A120/4 Macro. Looks like a drain pipe fitting on the end of the lens + a NIB 120 film insert with case in a Pentax box. I wonder where that has been all these years. eBay has 1, 3, 5, and 10 piece lots reboxed in Ricoh boxes.

This 645 stuff is ridiculously inexpensive compared to K-mount.

new keyboard; working at home at least one day per week necessitated a change...

previous keyboard had no numeral pad, which is a huge hindrance in my line of work.. so a new Das Keyboard Prime 13 arrived today...

anybody want a slightly-used Das Keyboard without the numeral pad?
mechanical? Size? Full or Compact?
Maybe

Yes there are lot of great 645 bargains, especially including the A versions of 645 lenses and lots of the 67 lenses as well.

Won't you tell us what it is? My step son Raymond got a certificate this week too for completing the stick welding course at Lincoln Electric welding school--step one toward his goal of becoming a pipeline construction welder.

Congratulations on obtaining citizenship. This is a great occasion. My wife Jocelyn, originally from Philippines, got her citizenship about one year ago. It was a very nice occasion, and the judge even took the time to shake hands and speak with every new citizen. As Jocelyn always tells me, you now have all the rights and privileges!

My Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home bag arrived today. Took longer for a camera bag ordered on Sunday to arrive from Virginia than a lens ordered on Monday to arrive from Japan. Bag is really nice. Too bad Crumpler is getting out of that market.
