    My 67 came with the f4.5 when i got it, and I've taken some of my favorite landscapes with it. It's definitely no slouch as long as you don't need the extra stop.

    I’ve gotta say, lovely shots, sweet focal length, and that what-if-Ozymandias-lived-in-midcentury-America sand-flooded house location was unbelievable. Look on my grain, ye mighty, and despair, kinda vibes.
    Also I feel like I ought to thank you and Jason for helping change attitudes about Pentax. I know I didn’t always give them the credit they deserve, but look at them now. Leica drops new M6s, then Pentax is like “Yeah, we think what we ought to be doing is making new film cameras.” Then, Leica is like, “We are pleased to announce…” and Pentax interrupts like “Hey guess what, we made a monochrome camera and it’s the first monochrome DSLR!” And a day later, Leica is like, “Ok, yes we ALSO made a monochrom camera. We know we’re ripping off Pentax, but ours is better because we leave off the silent E.” I mean, Pentax is bananas in the best way, and the 67 is awesome, even if it is only slightly more reliable than a 4runner.

    If you get a chance, try the 55-100mm zoom for the 67. It's the only lens I have for this system and it's a banger (F32 is also v.useful). I'm on the hunt for a 400mm if I ever need to do portraits that my RB67 can't handle.

    sorry I have a question, since that film photos resolution should be higher than your video resolution 1920*1080. Have you meet a situation that the film photos are losing quality after exporting the video? or do you have some recommendations of putting film photos in video and not losing its quality? Thanks in advanced!!!

    • @BadFlashes

      I mean you will also loose some quality because of compression. Doesn’t have a ton to do with the working resolution of the video. I think the point of the videos are to entertain and bring awareness for them to be viewed at a later time in a better format. :) hope that helps

    It comes with the 75mm f/4.5 and the 200mm f/4. Have you ever shot with the 200mm? I wish it was the 105, but the 200 seems workable enough for portraits.

    • @BadFlashes

    @randallstewart1224 Рік тому +4

    Any video about Pentax 67 is worth a thumbs up by me. For all of the back and forth, mush-mouth analysis, the answer to the title question seems to be NO. This is what happens when you set up to critically compare two lenses but don't want to say something to offend a subscriber who holds a strong (and unreasonable) belief contrary to what you may say. So, do you need a 2.8 for closer focus capacity to do portraits? Not unless you like perspective distortion and want to pay back Mom's past transgressions with "camel nose" for her head shot. Need that extra 1.3 stop of aperture of the 2.8? Not if you use your 67 like most owners, shooting landscapes on a tripod at f 8.0. Otherwise, the 2.8 probably has measurable but insignificantly better resolution and a slightly higher contrast overall. Tests published when it was first introduced also show that it has significantly higher linear distortion than the 4.5, so not for shooting brick walls. I've used the 4.5 for decades. I can afford a 2.8. Not worth the effort to trade for the 2.8 unless its price were to fall about $1,500 IMO. If I had no 75mm and were to go shopping and find a truly mint 75mm 2.8 with caps, shade and case for around $1,600, would I buy it? Probably yes, but I'm a gear hog with a bottomless budget.
