Pentax 67 Market
Is there a market for my 6x7 Pentax?
I keep thinking film has gone by the wayside. |

There's nothing digital that can touch 6x7.
Personally, I love the fact that "digital hysteria" has driven down the prices of some really nice glass for my Pentax 645. I recently won an auction for a mint condition 55 2.8 for under $200.

The dealers have told me that even the new Kodak/Nikon 14+ megatpixel
digital cannot equal the quality of my Olympus OM2. So it will be quite a while before they equal my Pentax 6x7. I'm keeping mine. THere is still quite a market for yours. -- Michael Weinstein | "Never underestimate the power of stupid Nashua, NH | people in large groups."

It has been tested. A Canon Eos 1ds gives results ALMOST as good as 6x7 and way better than 35mm. The grain gets in the way of the detail in 35mm. From my own experiments I agree. I use digital (Olympus e20), 35mm AND 6x7. 6x7 is by far the best I have, but I don't have EOS 1ds |

So it will be quite a while before they equal my Pentax 6x7. I'm keeping mine. THere is still quite a market for yours. This gets discussed frequently. With modern films and the latest generation of scanners it is possible to get results from 35mm and larger images that exceed what used to be possible. I have some examples of results with color negative film and the new Minolta 5400 scanner on my web site. Enlargements upto 18x without resampling. Results for 6x7 will allow for even larger size prints. In most cases, however, the final image does not tax the capacity of the medium so digitial originals look fine. Many people have never seen a quality print in person so their expectations are met by current average workflows. You can view some examples on my web site, follow the tips link on the home page.. -- Robert D Feinman Landscapes, Cityscapes, Panoramas and Photoshop Tips http://robertdfeinman.com |
