Pentax 6x7 Review
In today’s episode, Greg and I review the Pentax 6x7, later also called Pentax 67, which is a legendary medium format single-lens reflex camera first announced at photokina in 1966 and then properly introduced to the market in 1969. The Pentax 67 was the primary camera of many famous photographers, among them the late Peter Lindbergh who created many of his legendary portraits with it. Interestingly, until today we also see currently active fashion photographers like James Harvey-Kelly shooting campaigns for brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren or Windsor with this camera.
In order to live up to the camera’s versatility and large amount of lenses and accessories, we took it out for some landscape, portrait, architecture and macro photography in and around Würzburg shooting a variety of films - slide film, color negative film and black and white film.
