Title: Best Pentax 67 body to go with NPC Polaroid back?
Post by: Josef Isayo on August 12, 2013, 03:40:16 pm

Currently I have a Pentax 67 II body along with an NPC Polaroid back. Unfortunately the two are not compatible. Apparently the NPC back is only compatible with the first two models of the 67 bodies. Anyone know which version (6x7 or 67) would be a better choice? I'd like to to purchase a body and dedicate it to shooting the Fuji FP-100 and FP 3000 instant film.

Thanks!

I owned a Pentax 67 many years ago. I had two P67II bodies and an original 67 with the NPC back. It was a very good system if you're shooting a lot of natural light. I eventually moved to the Mamiya RZ system which I owned until moving to the Canon digital system.

I used the 6x7 and 67 body with a NPC polaroid back. I would rather go with the latter. Try to find a good, recently serviced body. They are so cheap nowadays. Maybe even get a second copy of your most used lens, because changing lenses, just to make a polaroid is a pain (sometimes).
