Hey everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Summer and I’ve been shooting film on and off for the past couple of years. This year I’ve really made more of an effort to get out there and shoot and I love it. I have a Pentax K1000 that is my first love. I also have a Yashica Mat124G and just acquired a Pentax 6x7 MLU from a lovely lady whose husband passed and left all his amazing gear behind. I will be posting about the 6x7 as I’m new to that beast of a camera and it does have some great accessories that came with it. See ya in the forums!

Will do! The camera came with an NPC Polaroid film back that I need to change out. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of a new back cover thanks to a forum member. Can’t wait to get it switched out and go shooting!

Hello 😀 It sure is a beast of a camera. Pictures and even videos don’t do it justice. Hope you get to try one soon!
