My 6x7 gear

[pentaxpete]

I took the plunge and bought a 6x7 outfit in November 1980 when the YEN was very low against the £££ cost £755-90 : MU Body, 105mm,200mm and 75mm 'Shift' lens + extension tube set -- I thought I would 'make a fortune' doing ' Stock Photography' then in about 2004 got the chance for a MkII with 135mm f4 Macro-Takumar, filters and Billingham bag all for £500 quid ( don't tell the Wife!) when the Mk II had gone UP to over £2.000 !! ( sold bag for £35-00 at Camera Club )
Well -- I didn't make a fortune -- all my 6x7 trannies have been sent back un-sold as the Agent wants only Digital Files from Full-Frame Cameras ---

A pleasant trip down your Memory Lane Pete.

As a point of interest, whilst you were buying that 6 x 7 kit I was buying my first New Kawasaki 250 for £56 less!
