Pentax 6x7
The Pentax 6×7 is a legendary medium format SLR camera that produces 6×7cm images on 120/220 roll film. Introduced in 1969, this camera earned the nickname "the tank" due to its substantial build quality and distinctive mirror slap. Featuring through-the-lens metering and a comprehensive system of interchangeable lenses, the 6×7 offers both manual and aperture-priority exposure modes. Its unique 6:7 aspect ratio closely matches enlarging paper proportions, making it particularly popular among portrait and landscape photographers. The camera's robust construction, combined with exceptionally sharp Takumar and SMC Pentax lenses, established it as a professional standard for decades. Despite its considerable weight and loud operation, the 6×7 remains highly regarded for its exceptional image quality and reliability.
