Pentax 67 MLU with Waist Level Finder SMC Pentax 90mm F/2.8 Lens, Focus Handle, Wooden Handle, Stra
Here we have a beautiful Pentax 67 medium format film camera with waist level finder, SMC Pentax 90mm F/2.8 fast prime lens, focusing handle, wooden handle, and strap. This is the Mirror Lock Up version of the Pentax 67.
This is the very camera which was used in a review on our camera-culture site Casual Photophile. Many of the sample images in that review were made with this camera and lens. See them here.
The camera works perfectly as-is, however it is being sold at a discount due to a flaw which will be detailed shortly.
The camera is in gorgeous cosmetic condition, as is the lens. The focusing screen and waist level finder are beautiful and clean and clear without flaws. The reflex mirror is clean and without damage, and the film compartment is pristine. The shutter curtain is flawless and works beautifully. All mechanisms, dials, knobs, and switches work flawlessly. There are no points of damage on the camera body.
The 90mm F/2,8 Pentax SMC lens is in beautiful condition! The glass elements are clean and clear, the optical coatings are perfect, and the aperture blades are flawless with no oil or marring. The aperture clicks into its detents beautifully and the focus action is amazingly smooth and fluid. There are no points of damage on the lens.
This camera is being sold at a discount. As is, it works perfectly as a full manual camera. However the metering chain which allows the camera to use the metering prism (not included) is broken and will need to be repaired. As mentioned, with the included waist level finder it works perfectly, but if you want to use a metering prism with the camera you will need to have this camera repaired. In this case I suggest contacting Eric Hendrickson, who does excellent work at very reasonable prices.
The camera will be carefully packaged and shipped within 24 hours.
