Pentax 67II, MC Pentax 67 Macro 135mm f/4 + Macro Tube #3, Fujicolor Pro 160S, no filter, tripod, PCV dev & scan

Becasue the macro tube does not transmit the f-stop setting to the meter coupling, after focusing I stopped down and put the lens in DOF preview mode so the Aperture Priority mode of the 67II set the exposure.

I miss My Pentax 67!!!!
I went to take photos with it few days ago...I thought it was secured in the tripod and as soon as I turned to grab my cable release..........I heard a big splash I turned and I saw it way down on the water with the Lovely 55mm F4 and a bubble lever :(

I was standing above the wall and shot with Sony a900 and nothing happened with it (Thankfully) but the pentax was not locked correctly on the tripod head and the tripod didn't move at all. unfortunately, I couldn't return it from the sea.

I sure miss it, it use to handle way better than my Hasselblad.

Ouch.

Just returned to the big SLR after a second hiatus. I shot the 67 for many years, then ended up having to sell the whole kit. Got a body and 45 lens for a short while for a particular project and sold that when it was over. But I did miss it. And the great lenses are really great.

Have a body and a 55 right now, looking for a 100 next...
 
Thanks Peter and Chris.
I am working with a photo project named "colleagues". I make just one shot on each.
It will take me a some time but its worth it. Definitely.

Welcome back! They do get under your skin. I had my first back in the mid-70s. Replaced it around 2006. While I have and love the 45mm lens, I do lust after the last 55mm lens. One of these days I'll spring for one.
Enjoy!
