Pentax 67II
Introduced in 1999, the Pentax 67II was the culmination of the Pentax 6x7 family of cameras. This camera offered a vastly improved body over previous models, particularly in the area of metering. The 67II still lacks a built-in meter in the camera body, but it does offer an AE prism that allows the photographer to choose between three different metering options: center weighted, six segment multi-pattern (a basic form of matrix metering but still very versatile), and spot (using a 2.5% circle in the middle of the viewfinder). The 67II added a long exposure function that shut off power to the shutter circuit after the exposure was initiated, thereby reducing battery drain down to virtually nothing. This feature makes the 67II ideally suited for long exposure or astrophotography. Among the other handy features added to this camera are aperture priority exposure, multiple exposure, and the ability to do TTL flash metering - though the camera still lacks a hot shoe.
The camera did not experience a production run as long as previous models, therefore its numbers are much smaller, making it much harder to find. This scarcity has helped drive the prices for a 67II quite high. If you are lucky enough to find one, and you have the budget to afford it, this camera will make your 6x7 dreams come true.
