Thank you!
Nice photos and nice work on the metal box camera. Very encouraging for me.
As I use my current camera more, with its wide angle (62mm) lens, and no focus aid, I understand how much more important it must be to have a good focusing system with a normal focal length lens and larger aperture.

Pulce, Welcome!
I just joined this forum as well and noted (briefly) how I traveled through Italy in 1980 - 1981 with the Pentax MX I had just bought in Japan. Great traveling camera.
Now I just bought a medium format camera and I have a couple of sheet film holders for it. Some day, I will try a dry plate in it.

Greetings from Tokyo, Japan.
I have recently brought out from storage the Pentax MX I bought new in Tokyo in 1980. I took many, many Kodachromes and Ektachromes on this wonderfully compact camera, traveling throughout Japan, Italy and Hungary. I'll have to scan them someday. :eek:
But right now I'm more interested in medium format (and possibly larger) film photography (I like the technology, the challenge, and the final prints that come out of the process). Which brings me to a specific question.
Some years ago (2012) on this forum, member wombat2go kindly described his project of mounting a "Takumar 6X7 on a Speed Graphic." His post said it looked good on ground glass and he was about to try some film. I wonder how the film turned out? There was also some discussion about the Pentax 67 90mm f2.8 LS lens -- which is the lens I would like to use. I wonder if it would cover 6x9?
Thanks all and happy photos!
