The camera remains basically unchanged from its original form and, having been introduced about thirty years ago (and based on the design of the Pentax Spotmatic 35mm camera), almost every feature is archaic by modern standards. This camera is designed as a field camera, for handheld SLR convenience (convenience is only relative with this camera). This will then set it to so that camera thinks it has film and you can fire the rest of the "roll" as test fires.Īs the shutter is electronically timed, without a battery you won't have shutter speeds except X.ĭanny Gonzalez has perhaps the best summation of the Pentax 67 that I've seen: While the back door is open, turn the film dial indicator past '1' with your thumb and then close the door without letting go of the dial indicator. Open the camera back (you did remember to make sure there was no film in it, right?!) by hooking your thumb in the back latch catch on the left side. If it doesn't cock and doesn't fire, then you most likely have no film in it and the safety interlock is preventing a dry fire. If there is very hard resistance, then the camera is already cocked, don't force it! There should be moderate resistance as the camera cocks and winds all in one single stroke. If there is no resistance, there is no film in it. Push the battery check button and make sure the LED lights (it's partially hidden by the 6x7 metering prism, so you have to peek to see if anything lights up)Ĭock the camera. Here's the checklist for checking one out to make sure the shutter fires: This camera belongs in the irritating class of cameras that won't work if you don't have film in it, or a battery.
