The Pentax 67 II combines medium-format 6 x 7 capabilities with the maneuverability of conventional Single-Lens-Reflex construction. Through its unique design and state-of-the-art electronics, the Pentax 67 II has become a leading choice among professional photographers. The AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II offers greater versatility and accuracy through advanced metering capabilities with its built-in Average, Center-weighted and Spot metering systems. In addition to exposure compensation, Aperture Priority automatic and Manual exposure modes are also available. The camera also features self-timer, multiple exposure and mirror lock-up.
A Complete System
A full line of system accessories are available for this camera including interchangeable viewfinders and focusing screens. Close-up work is made much simpler and efficient by using the Auto Bellows 67II or Auto Extension Tube Set. The Pentax 67 II now includes TTL flash compatibility with Pentax dedicated electronic flash units. The optional Hot Shoe Grip 67II is designed to connect the Pentax AF500FTZ or AF330FTZ flashes to the 67II body while also improving the camera's ergonomics by providing a more comfortable way to hand-hold the body.
With its rugged die-cast body, brighter viewfinder, newly designed grip and improved film transport system, the Pentax 67II is a worthy choice for the fashion or corporate industrial photographer.
