Originally posted by RICHARD L. I'm lucky my Pentax 67 II became defective right after I bought it (electro-magnet trouble, film wouldn't wind and shutter wouldn't fire). It was repaired under warranty and never developed any other problem after that. If that happened today, I wonder if anybody could bring it back to life ...
Some 67 lenses still sell for high prices (75 mm f/2.8 AL, M* 300 mm f/4 or M* 400 mm f/4 for example) but these lenses are extremely durable and will last a lifetime if handled well.

I have two 6x7's and a 67, all three of which have been CLA'd by Eric Hendrickson. I don't need three, but they are insurance. Keeping them exercised is a pain in the rear, though.
But, honestly, I'm having so much fun with the 645z and getting such good results with it, I have not been motivated to work much with the 67. If this lock-down lasts into better weather, I might run out of other projects and need to get the cameras out--there's stuff I can do right here.
I was planning a trip to Utah for May, but I think that's an impossibility right now--the hotels where I have reservations are shut down by government order to tourists. I don't think I could persuade anyone I wasn't a tourist on that trip. So, my yard may be my subject.
