I still think the Pentax 6x7 body was at the top of cool/beautiful cameras. You could also use the shutter ‘clunk’ as a way for people miles away to find you to rescue you in the dark.
Loved both the 105/2.4 and the 135/4 as handheld portrait lenses; though 55 years ago, I was younger, stronger, more energetic, more experimental, and thought I was more hip. Pretty sure it’s size and appearance were 95% of reason i got a couple of jobs at Neiman-Marcus, taking bts at fashion shows. 5% as cool as David Hemmings in ‘Blow-Up’ but 110% of the endorphins. 🙈🙈
I way enjoyed it, but deserve zippo-credit for handling it!
Best to all.
