There are a few things I’ve learned using this camera in the real world. It’s not as heavy as some people may claim, no more heavier than my Nikon D800 with a 24-70 lens on it. It is very easy to focus, especially for creative compositions, due to the large bright screen. My manual focus hit rate was between 80-90%. Shutter slap isn’t that bad. I was able to get usable images even at 1/60th handheld. Loading film while losing light feels like an eternity! It gets better with more practice. So far, I love this camera and I’m planning to use it on a regular basis.

Below are a few shots from my Yosemite engagement session using a Pentax 67ii.

I'm a hybrid wedding and portrait photographer. I use medium format 6x7 film and full frame digital cameras for my work. I'm based out of Southern California but have traveled throughout US and part of Europe to document weddings. My wedding photography style is modern, elegant, and timeless. Occasionally, I will do creative personal projects for fun.
