Hey
I`m new here and I`m a proud owner of my first medium format Pentax 67 camera so I like to present a few pictures of my beast and some first photographs taken. I was looking for Pentax 67 within my low budget range and there was not easy to find one in the UK. I was trying to get one from the USA but I was afraid to pay the Duty tax and other costs I was not aware of. After a few weeks I get one in bad condition but fully working and I was happy to restore/clean, buy TTL Prism for it and amazing rosewood handle, plus new seal for the prism. Now I love it and I can`t wait to take more photos with it.
This is what I get - doesn`t look to impressive but this was before I cleaned, replace the prism and seal, add rosewood handle :-).
And this is my beauty after some work was done - so I`m very happy now and looking after to get some advice from experienced 67 users.
And some my first photographs taken with it. Keep in mind that I was taking those pictures before getting TTL Prism so I was using my Pentax K5 to meter the light and apply setting to this beast :-).
Pictures taken in the amazing British island - Isle Of Wight.

So I hope you like it and if you don`t mind I have some question already :-), Is it normal with Fuji Velvia 100 Pro to getting this Purples/Magentas colors in the photo/scans or my Epson v500 have to be set properly? This first picture was already adjusted and still those colors are strongly visible.
Thank You
