Pentax 67ii cons

sunshine7913 · 11-27-2014, 05:38 PM

Well, I heard some flaws or cons with Pentax 67ii. Am I right?

I wanna know what kind of flaw or cons does Pentax 67ii have.

It only has two strap lugs, both on one side

In all serious though, the 67II and 67 are great cameras. If you were to compare to say a Mamiya RB , the main drawbacks of the 67 might be the limited flash sync speed (1/30s), and the lack of changeable film backs.

I bought a 6711 about 12 years ago...a great camera...about 5 years ago it developed a film advance solenoid problem where I might only get 8 or 9 frames versus 10 on a roll of 120. When new often got a bonus '11' frame. Paid to have it repaired but still hit and miss on frames I get out of a roll.of 120.

Helena Christensen uses one, right?

None far with mine, but I’ve only had it for 18 months. It’s a great camera and way more technically advanced than the older 6x7/67, but not as good looking.
