Attention, Pentax 67 users! We’ve spotted an item that you’re most likely missing in your lens collection.
You’ve read that right — our latest vintage find is something especially for Pentax 67 users! Whether you’re thinking of expanding your lens arsenal for your iconic medium format SLR camera, or simply want to try a project that requires a fast super telephoto lens, this item is definitely worth checking out.

The lens is mounted on the external bayonet of the 67 lens mount, and has a pre-set manual style diaphragm operation, built-in lens hood, rotatable tripod collar, and rack and pinion focusing. This listed lens also comes with front and rear caps, and a trunk case.

However, as we now do with all these ebay finds, make sure you ask a vintage lens expert for the actual value of this item before you part with your hard-earned money. Also, don’t forget to ask the seller for actual photos of the item, as they used a B&H photo in this listing.
