Wondering how the film's ISO will be set on the new Pentax half-frame, hopefully with a dial?
DX coding with no manual override or exposure compensation, would not be ideal.....

Get some Canadian cash before you leave at a US bank, with some small bills. Some places (coffee shops) don't like big bills ($50 or $100) and also some places do not accept cash at all. (Debit or credit cards only) We have coins in 5, 10, 25 cents and $1 & $2. Bills in 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100, all in different colours. :eek:
If you are going to BC & Alberta no one speaks French, just English. (Some words will be spelled differently though, color is "colour" in Canada for an example) We are also metric, so you'll have to deal with temperatures in celsius and distances in kilometres.
Prices will seem higher than in the US, but remember you'll be getting a 30% discount because of the exchange rate. We also do tipping, but not as much as in the US. Don't bother tipping if you are ordering from a counter or just buying a coffee. (Sit down table service, then yes tip)
Sales tax in BC is 7% PST & 5% GST, in Alberta there is no PST, just the 5% GST.

No option covers my choice, which is "I'll buy the camera whatever the price".

Here on the wet coast, Kodak Gold 200 now sells for less per 36 exp roll than Fuji Superia 400 or 200.
Hence I've become a fan of Gold 200...

Not in the leaf-shutter mode according to the lens manual. MLU is OK in the focal-plane mode.

Midnight in Antarctica.
We did a late evening zodiac landing in the Ross Sea area and there still was enough available light to take pictures. My wife took this one of me and the penguins, using my KX & K50/1.4. (Kodak Ektachrome 100 GX)

I'm getting one for sure.
It'll be perfect as a backup/second film camera when I travel. My primary travel SLR camera (currently a Z-1p or MZ-S) will shoot E6 slide film and this new half-frame will shoot b&w.

Surprisingly they don't mind waiting.
I used to be "young" (65+) and I'm the exception when I visit my local film lab to drop/pick-up a roll of film. Most of the other customers are young enough to be my grandchild.
The weird thing these youngins do however, is not keep their negatives after getting scans or prints. The lab staff I talk to said they end up chucking their negatives, as the youngins don't want them returned?....
Phil.
PS I'll also be getting this new Pentax film camera.

The OEM lens cap for the Takumar 6x7 55/3.5 would be an 100mm bayonet mount and not a screw-in or push-on. You can find them on eBay or KEH.

It may be this expired Agfachrome 1000RS I tried a few years ago, that was rated up to 1600 ISO. As with the Harman Phoenix, scanning made the difference.
This is the best I could get from the Agfa slide film, shot at 100 ISO.

Yeah Pentax switch over to the new "font" in 1976, about a year after the initial K Series launch. Any K Series lens still in production, got the change as well in 1977.
