I've owned 6x7s since the 80s - not only is it a tremendous camera; but it's a phenomenal weapon if you ever need to defend yourself!!
Haha very true! It's certainly going to hurt haha
I'll tell you another benefit of the Pentax, the birds flying away scared on the other side of the river always confirm when you take a shot, can't say that about the Leica 😅
Haha thanks Thomas! Very true. Multi-use camera! :)
I was shooting street portraits with my Pentax 67ii in Belfast today, coupled with the 90mm 2.8 lens this makes another Perfect Pentax Pair!
Nice setup Jim! Very cool.
I almost bought the Pentax 105/2.4 recently just because! It would then be the best excuse to get the Pentax 67!
Actually what I really enjoyed is watching your portrait photo and modelling process
Haha, love the thought process!! :) See Patreon for model stuff. There must be over 80 model videos on there by now (+ 150+ non-model posts).
Really weird as well as really cool to see myself here! Was awesome! Thanks for the opportunity! :D
Thanks for checking out the video!
The Pentax 67 is a beast of a camera, and the 105mm f/2.4 is a lovely, lovely lens, although, I am often curious with the 165mm f/2.8. I also love the 75mm SMC, and for landscape work, the 55mm 4.5 always came with me. As a P67 MLU owner, I found myself taking the Pentax with me a lot more often than my RB67 on shoot. Before watching this video, I actually idn't know that the P67 weight almost the same as the Mamiya; the Mamiya just "feel" heavier. Although, since I had picked up a few Mamiya SIX folder and Moskva 5, my Pentax 67 MLU is now living most of its life in its case, mostly because the busy summer travel season when I often pack a folding camera. But still, it always feel special when I get to shoot with the iconic P67.
Thanks! Yes I was surprised that both cameras were very similar in weight. I have the Moskva 5 and some other folders! See my Perkeo 2 video if you've not already seen it.
I used to own a 165/2.8 and it's a great companion to the 105. Just be aware of the minimum focus distance (1.6 meters I recall), but that's easily fixed with a small extension ring. Those came in a set of three back in the day, and the smallest would do for portraits. Recommended!
My favourite Camera 😍😍
I see why!
Rotterdam 😎😎😎. Recognised all of the locations there: nice! The ONE camera I regret selling is my Pentax 67. Had a complete system, including that 105mm. The transport system kept braking on me so I sold everything..... Big mistake. Lenses are more flare resistant than Hasselblad's too....😭
Yes well spotted! My first time in Rotterdam (I've since been back again - more videos to come!). Sorry to hear that you sold your 67. Easily done when a camera gets issues. I sold my Contax 645 after an electrical fault before the prices tripled :( ..noted about the flare resistance, thanks!
How good is the 105 2.4? It’s not only good, it’s the greatest and historical images made with this lens support my claim. I challenge you to prove me wrong Matt.
Yes a nice lens for sure. My results were nice and sharp at f4. It would be good to do a Mamiya vs Pentax shootout one day as on paper both lenses are very similar.
Very nice video.
Great camera.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I know it won't get many views but I need to get back to sharing some non-Leica cameras too.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Besides non Leica it is more about the shooting experience than the technical part.
Great teaching video
RS. Canada
Thanks Richard!
Wow the timing, was just doing a deep dive on them yesterday. Thank you. 🙏
Ah, amazing! Nice cameras no question if you don't mind the size and weight. Mamiya RB67/ RZ67 should be cheaper if on a budget.
That shutter release - epic! Nice to see some Flints footage 😊
Thanks Kev! Yes! I knew I'd held a P67 before so I dug out the footage (screen recorded from that YT video).
That Pentax 105 f2.4 is just fantastic.
Yes, it was great to finally try this famous lens!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Precisely the Pentax 105 f2.4 is the reason why I want the beast of a camera that the Pentax 67 is, although much easier handheld than the Mamiya RB/RZ with the equally good 110 f2.8. I had one, but replaced the whole system with a Mamiya 6MF, although it and the M7 are also good, but just the two lenses mentioned are something on their own for portraits. Hassy also has their 200 series with 110 f2.0, but have realized that it is extremely difficult to hit accurately with it when it is wide open. Got damn expensive too.
Live in Norway and for a long time the exchange rate for NOK was very good against both $, £ and €. Now we have a bad exchange rate and when all such optical and camera goodies have also become so expensive, I am glad to have bought mine in time.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom By the way, that picture you show at 8 min was when I smiled, what a great picture, but also the optical properties of the lens. With such a picture, you understand why you drag the beast out with you. That picture is in the category that I could have it on my wall and smile every time I saw it and never get tired of seeing it.
@@protestagain thanks! People do buy images from me occasionally and I hope to bring out some books (to a wider audience in the future). Patreon have had access to some books in the past.
I enjoy very much the photos you
Took with the first model. The light
Was great. The 105 mm Pentax is
One of the best lens built for medium format camera.
Thank you! Those images actually had backing paper marks (expired film) but it was fun testing the camera).
I must be the Odd Duck ; I shoot Medium Format on my EBONY 4x5 , but I love the results from my ROLLEI 75mm 3.5 , and I have just procured a superb museum quality Wide Rollei 55mm F4 ... that camera , is so lovely it " sings " cradled in your hands ... Matt get your hands upon a 55 mm F4 ROLLEI ... then you're shooting.
Almost forgot ... I looked at the Pentaxx 67 , and am glad desisted ...the Leica M3 is louder yes so lovely compared to the Rollei's that are superbly quiet , and the Leica blushes in comparison . That Pentax is huge loud compared to my F3 Nikon ... Clunnk Wow 🤔 One last thing , warmth ... people honestly walk TO you and chat you up , they love the TLR ... and want their photo taken.
Thanks Chris, nice! I enjoy 120 backs on my 4x5 so I'm with you on that. I have my Kalloflex TLR which easily beats my Rolleicord as my small quiet setup.
When i did my A-level i had a canon F1 with FD L lenses, buy a guy in class had a cheap medium format camera and his prints blew mine away from a quality stand-point. So, i got hold of a Mamiya RZ for cheap, then traded it for a pentax 67 and later moved to a mamiya 7ii. I loved that pentax 67. Had to hang a bag full of rocks from my tripod to minimise the shake ftom the shutter. The images from that camera were gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing! I love the 'bag of rocks bit!' ..yes I don't think people realise the negative size difference.
You know to handle the 67, good portraits!
Thank you! First time so I just treated it like any other film camera.
Nice video, Matt. I love taking pictures with my two Pentax 6x7 MLU and 67. Just this incredible sound when the huge mirror flips up and crashes down again! Only focusing especially with the 2.4/105 with open aperture at short distance is a challenge every time (I have the microprism as a focusing screen). And the camera is already heavy. But I would definitely shoot without the wooden handle, I only use it for carrying. Cheers Andreas
Thanks Andreas, nice! I think many people just add the wooden handle as it looks cool.
Nice work, Matt! I am very much looking forward to your darkroom episode!
Hey Greg! Great to see you here. Thanks, coming soon! (Feel free to share any darkroom tips after watching that video!)
Nice review thank you! I noticed this is the “II” version of the 67. Have you ever shot the original 6x7? It’s an awesome beast.
Thanks! Yes sorry I forgot to say that it was the II version. I like the look of the older one but I've not used it no.
I had a Hassy 501 which I loved. But, I always wanted to try a Pentax 67.
I'll share some new Hassy videos soon too. I've shot with it quite a lot.
great video Matt, i love film photography and own a Mamiya 645 j and a C 33 pro TLR have you used any of these, and i am thinking why Leica has never made a medium format film camera in the past ?
Thanks! I have the M645 Super.. I need to make a newer video but there is an existing video and blog posts. Not tried the C bodies yet.
Maybe you can review the Mamiya C cameras. I actually grew to love them. I have C220 and C3 and I wonder whether you will come to the same conclusion as me as to which one is the best of the bunch.
Thanks, yes if I ever get the opportunity i'll be sure to share my results!
Get this combo and I’d say to most average photographers you will spending around £2.50 every time you press the shutter.
Fujifilm GFX w/Mitakon 65mm f1.4 will give you the same results and would pay for itself after the average photographer takes just 1,000 pictures on med format film.
I don’t think you shoot film for the economy - it’s more about the process. I still shoot a Rolleicord from time to time just for the fun of it and there’s still no other experience like looking as those big negs on a light box.
And making your own prints is absolute magic. I love it. And people love seeing a print.
Thanks David, yes I dread to think about the cost if people are shooting say Portra 800 with this. That said I only had 10 frames and I got more keepers than if I shot 10 digital. Film will make you (me/ people*) shoot better vs digital, no question and if you limit yourself to 10 frames per shoot you can do 100 photoshoots (based on your maths) for the same cost as the GFX. *That said you'll need a cheap digital too to be able to show the model the photos/ get them warmed up.
What you say makes good sense but I did the maths years ago when considering a digital back for a Hassy verses shooting Portra and film made more sense (and looks way cooler..and all the other benefits of film.. for those that like it). For a newbie, definitely shoot digital to learn the exposure triangle first!
Thanks, yes. Look out for part 2 as I will cover this aspect!
Never mind the economy of it, the experience and results are completely different. I just attended a talk by a brilliant war photographer who prefers to shoot film during the day, and digital when he has too (at night). Shoots mainly Leica and Widelux btw. The results speak for themselves. Incidentally, I have a GFX system but happily choose film instead for artistic reasons if that gets me the results I'm after. Horses for courses 🙂
Shame you had to use expired film. Did the 67 have a split image focusing screen? I find focusing my 67 difficult with only a micro prism.
Yes normally expired film is OK for me but this roll had backing paper issues annoyingly. I think it had the split screen yes. I need that for 'objects' more than 1m away. I use on my Hassy too.
What was your overall opinion of the Pentax image quality? Would you ever use it on a pro shoot?
Absolutely. Nice camera and sharp at f4 (from my images)(those of the blonde model). I don't like the idea of 1/30 sync but for available light shoots it's fine.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom yeah they kept the 1/30 sync speed through all their 3 or 4 versions of the camera which is a difficult one to understand.
I have never liked the Pentax 67, a much too large SLR, I loved my Hasselblad 6x6 Cameras which is much more handy. But I have often dreamed of a Fuji GX 680, although a View Camera with a roll film back is much more versatile and that was what I used as a professional photographer.
Yes each have a use. Like you I prefer smaller so the Hasselblad is better (or a TLR to go smaller still). For non-portraits I use folding cameras like the tiny Perkeo 2.
When I worked for a big food company we had a GX680… the reflex viewing, auto shutter cocking, instant(ish) return mirror, and Fujifilm's slick automated film handling made it very efficient for high-volume product photography in a studio environment. I even tracked down a defunct 120 roll film holder for it on eBay, fixed the film holder by soldering in a new frame-counter battery, and tried it for some outdoor photos, but it just wasn't pleasant at all to use outside the studio. Still, it might have been a hit except for bad timing… it rolled out just as digital cameras for studio shooting started becoming practical, and ours was soon replaced by a Canon EOS 5D Mk II with a 90mm tilt/shift lens…
@@jlwilliams I was used to work with View Cameras, both with sheet film and roll film magazines, so I do not think that the Fuji 608 would have been faster to operate for me.

Oh dear.... another camera you need to buy 😂
Haha, no but I will dust off the RZ67. I used to struggle with the 6x7 format but I seem fine with it now.
