Pentaximus, my understanding of the 67's history is that it was part of an estate in San Diego somewhere. It appears to have had very little use since new (1989?) with absolutely no marks on the body anywhere; advertised as 'minty' for USD$530, but I offered $510 and got it. It was dusty and very finger-printed when it turned up: nothing Kitten polish can't buff up, and then some! I really cannot wait much longer to get it out of the studio and into the bush for its first test roll.

Size does matter! :lol:
Meet Big Bertha, a prized eBay find, ex-Lancaster USA.
She's without an eye at the moment (55mm f4). Presenting tipping the scales at 1.6kg; heading for 2.5kg when the lens docks... and that will be quite enough. :ugh:
Mirror has quite an alarming tha-ANK, and 3x the size of my EOS1n mirror. This 67 has MLU and ME ability -- that unusual factory mod. that I posed a question of much earlier. This morning I'm going to get a new battery (not sure how long the present Varta has been in it) and B-type strap. Unresolved is the issue of an eyecup: I suspect the older Nikon eyecups may fit on round bezel Pentax eyepieces, but not sure. First roll of Acros 100 loaded for test imaging, then we'll get down and boogie with Provia.
