Hi all, I couldn't resist. I bought a nice, brassed Pentax 67 body and 45mm f/4 lens today. I was also lucky enough to find a genuine Pentax metal hood for the 45mm. Price for the whole lot was NZ$2000 (900 body, 1100 lens). I had to pick the brassed body because: a) it came with a waist-level finder b) it has a very bright grid screen with microprism focussing aid c) I recently got burned buying a camera which hadn't been used in years. Cosmetically great but bad shutter timing and meter. I figure a beat-up body will be a well-used reliable one :) d) it was the only one of the three in the shop that I could afford :) (I'm broke again). I've run half a roll through it so far and it seems to feel pretty good. No major problems. I was planning to wait until I'd sold the RB67 kit but since the 45mm doesn't come up very often I decided to take the plunge now... Cheers, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E.
