Beaming 67 owner!

Silent Street · 11-20-2011, 10:15 PM

G'day all,
Garyh here, from Geelong, Victoria, Australia. To my brood of cameras big and small, old and new, today was added a mint 67 body with TTL prism finder, ex-USA. Still waiting on 55mm f4.0 lens to touch down, so all I have is a beautiful body to run my fingers over (oi! Pay attention, we are talking camera here!!

)
I'm going to spend some time exploring this Pentax forum in depth. Already a long-time member of APUG.org, so not on the digital gravy train (and hope never to be!!).

Cheers,
Garyh

Yes welcome to the PF. I also just picked up the same 67 kit and I'm waiting for the first couple rolls of film to be processed.

Enjoy!

Yesterday it was a wash down and polish up (yes, I polish cameras!). It looks startlingly new.
This morning I cleaned up the rather dirty focusing screen, top and bottom, just by removing the TTL prism (was surprised how heavy it is) — first time I've done so. How easy is that!?
Also cleaned off dust from that bit's glass base (microfibre). Re-assemble the caboodle then have another perve through the eyepiece: alas! Still no lens here yet, so I can't see much at all!

Heavens! Was told last night that a replacement battery (not that it needs one) is currently at $22.95 (!). Remember the good olds days (for all you under-20-somethings, that's a long time past now!!) when a single battery cost 60c?

<sigh>
