My name is Ken. I've been shooting 35mm for a long time. I was given my PZ-70 since it's previous owner was doing only digital and he knew I'd put the PZ-70 to good use. I've been transitioning into Medium Format Photography for a time. I found a very clean and very functional Asahi Pentax 6x7 slr with a Super Coated 75 mm lens. I connected with a buddy at a local camera shop and got a correct 6 volt Li ion battery for it. I'm leaving now to pick up my first roll of 120 film (lomography 100) through it now. I'll post taken pix later..

I got some 6x7, pz70, and K1000 pix to show--see below. The 1st and 2nd pix in the list below were taken with my K1000. The 3rd pix was taken on my 6x7 medium format slr (I should be able to add a B & W pix or 2 from my 6 x 7 soon). The rest of the pix were taken with my pz-70.
