When loading a new film roll, he is not tensioning the supply roll to give the takeup spool a tight wrap. This can lead to a loosely wrapped roll of shot film. This can get loose enough to jam in the takeup chamber. Put you thumb on the film roll when advancing the paper leader to its index point before closing the back, creating drag for the advance lever to pull against.
I have the 6x7 ML which is the second version that came out. If you’re going for an older model Pentax 6x7 it’s recommended that you get the ML version. Mine also has a built in light meter in the prism this camera has given me no problem so far. Love it.
The Pentax 67 (the first one) has what’s called a penta-prism. It’s an internal light meter. It came out on the second rendition which is the 67. I think it goes 6x7 then 67 then 67ii. So there have been three versions. You would only need a handheld if you get a waist level prism. People say they aren’t too reliable, but that’s bs cuz I’ve traveled around with athe 105 f2.4 and the cherry handle using the TTL in the pentaprism, and I got high level results.
There are four versions: 6x7 w/o mirror lock-up; 6x7 w/ ML; 67; and 67ii. The first three versions will take a meterless prism; a prism incorporating a meter; a waist level finder; and a high magnification technical finder. Since the meter is in the prism finder, that is the only variation which offers a TTL meter. The 67ii uses a TTL meter which is not interchangeable with the earlier models, however the non-metering finders from the earlier versions will work on the 67ii. The meter prism for the 67ii offers functions for center-weighted measurement, spot metering, and matrix metering. The meter prism for the earlier models offers only a full screen area averaging function. Many claim it is not accurate, but that is because they use it improperly, assuming that it reads a center-weighted coverage like practically ll SLR 35mm film cameras. The problem is in the user, not the camera or meter.
You could consider buying the wooden grip. It makes shooting more comfortable, you can carry the camera very easy in one hand and it looks very nice too!
@@metalfingersfilm nothing, the focusing screen needs adjustment. Many of my friends reported the same issue with theirs. Not a problem when stopped down with a subject far enough.
@@fangxusun1723 interesting. still irritating to not be able to use all the functions of the camera. but i guess it comes with the territory of using these old cameras.
Woooo. Fellow Milwaukee shooter! Gotta subscribe now!! Would also be dope to link and just talk photography. I’m trying to get back in the swing of putting out content
Have you guys shot with the Pentax 67ii? Let me know your thoughts/workflow with the camera!

Thanks for the tips!!

the shot at 3:18 WOW!
our favorite too :)

Yep! We actually have one! Colin prefers shooting without it, as it makes the camera larger nonetheless.
Had two of 67ii, both had front focusing problem.
Really?? What did you end up doing with them?

great video but did you edit these photos? most of them seem very cold like they're straight from the scanner
colin was still figuring out the epson scanner, so yeah the colors are cold. In newer videos, colors are much more clean! :)
@@metalfingersfilm sick man was just wondering:) thanks!
