The 105 seems to have achieved cult status in the past 10 years by portrait shooters and the price reflects that. The 150 Takumar is a Double Gauss design similar to the 105 and is f/2.8 speed but gets little respect. I have used them both and found both capable of excellent portrait work. I suggest the 150 and the 75 Takumar. If you need speed in a 75mm, then you must pay up for the 75AL.

When I first got my P 6x7 30 years ago, I would never see other shooters with this camera and thought that maybe 50,000 were made. Now my guess is much higher, especially when I see how many members there are in Pentax 67 forums like Flickr and the number of used 67s for sale. I would guess that 200,000 were made for all types (non-MLU 6x7, MLU 6X7, MLU 67 and P67II).
The two lenses that are overpriced for the system are the 105 and 75AL. If you avoid those two, the system can be affordable.
