Alan, love the lighting and the colors are so perfect looking. Going to shoot some Portra 800 today with window light, this great inspiration!

A horny toad! (or at least that is what we called them a long time ago as a kid in Oklahoma). And a very nice portrait.

Having fixed the front focussing issue on my 6x7 (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/48-pentax-645d-medium-format/228502-penta...s-problem.html) before chopping it in for a 67II, it now appears that my new body also front focusses.

Looks straight forward to adjust, but I don't have a thin enough jewellers screwdriver to adjust the grub screws. For now I have put a thin layer of film under the rests for the focussing screen, so will see how that goes on a test roll…

So Rob, am I correct in assuming that in your viewfinder the letters on the bike crate appeared to be in focus, rather than the rear wheel? I've never heard of that sort of problem with a manual focus camera but if they have adjustment screws for it I guess it must be an issue in some cases. Seems strange that you would experience it in two cameras in a row though. So I will ask an irreverent question; please don't take offense. Is there any chance this is an eyesight issue on the part of the user, and could be corrected by use of a properly adjusted diopter? (Once again, just a complete shot in the dark)

Love the blues in this, insane looking image.

Ilford 3200 shot at 12500 or pushed two stops in development... (I just shot it metered at 3200 and then pushed 2 stops in development) DDX
Pentax 67 | Pentax 75 2.8 AL
I know some people won't like the contrasty look of the image but I kind of like it.

I see our point, but I wear contacts so hopefully my eyes are pretty much spot-on. I've played with the diopter adjustment on the 67II and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Regardless if the problem is with me or my camera, if it works for me I'm happy!!
