Pentax AE Pentaprism Finder 67 II - Accessory

Model Details

When the optional AE Pentaprism Finder 67II is mounted, you can take advantage of the versatile Aperture-Priority AE mode. Assisted by the high-precision 6-segment multi-pattern metering system, this finder automatically sets the optimum shutter speed between 1/1000 second and 30 seconds steplessly to properly expose the subject. It also features an easy-to-operate exposure compensation dial and a quick-setting metering mode selector (spot metering, center-weighted and 6-segment multi-pattern metering) on the top panel, as well as a multi-information LCD indicator in the viewfinder. To facilitate auto-exposure operation, the 67II incorporates such features as an "A" (auto) position on the shutter-speed dial and an exposure memory lock function.

Pentax 6x7

The Pentax 6x7 was introduced in 1969 as an alternative to modular SLRs on the market. The 6x7 instead emulates the handling of a 35mm SLR, just scaled up to fit the 6x7cm negative.

All generations of Pentax 6x7 cameras feature electronically-controlled focal plane shutters that can reach speeds up to 1/1000s. The one major downside of the design is the slow flash sync compared to the leaf shutters in Mamiya and Hasselblad lenses.

Pentax offered interchangeable finders for the 67 system including TTL prisms, waist level finders, chimney finders, and non-metered prisms. The 67 II is also capable of TTL aperture priority autoexposure with the right prism.
