This lens is one of the best I’ve used in film photography. The most notable changes between these versions are build quality, material, and coating on the lens glass.ġ05mm F2.4: It’s no secret that the favorite lens to pair with the Pentax 6x7 is the 105mm F2.4 prime lens. Keep in mind that multiple versions of the same lenses were released over the years. They are tack sharp, render wonderful color and detail, but even better, they can be purchased on the used market for next to nothing. The Pentax 6x7 had some of the best lenses developed for it. Once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll easily have a body reloaded in under a minute. Loading film into the body is straight forward and very simple to do but it does take some time to roll the film into the roller. The body is made of a strong and durable metal, and it’s clear that it’s able to withstand tough working conditions. It’s similarities are immediately obvious when you first hold one in your hands

It even behaves just like a 35mm SLR with it’s TTL viewfinder (optional metered version available), shutter speed dial, manual frame advance lever and the location of the shutter release. The Pentax 6x7 is very reminiscent of a regular 35mm SLR. It’s magic, and I’ve never experienced anything else like it in a medium format camera.

I’ve been shooting on mine since 2013 and I still can’t help but grin every time I hear the shutter clack down followed by the feel of advancing into the next frame. The experience shooting this camera is nothing short of a rush. The Pentax 6x7 is a completely manual medium format film camera.
