Pentax 6x7 Medium Format film camera with 135mm f4 lens
Description:
The Pentax 6x7 is one of those cameras that photographers talk about with a real sense of admiration. It looks and handles just like a 35mm SLR, which makes it far less intimidating than most medium format systems, but the negatives it produces are about four times the size of a 35mm frame. That difference in size translates directly into more detail, richer colours, and a depth and dimension to your images that is very hard to achieve any other way.
The 135mm lens paired with this body gives you a slightly narrower perspective, which is great for portraits with beautiful background separation, as well as landscape and travel photography where you want to isolate your subject and draw the viewer in. This is a fully manual camera, so you set your aperture and shutter speed yourself, which means you stay in full control of every shot. It is not the lightest camera to carry, but for anyone serious about film photography who wants to take a real step up in image quality, the Pentax 6x7 is genuinely one of the best choices you can make.
