Hello,
I am interested in acquiring a Pentax 67 camera, preferably a later version with the 105mm f/2.4 SMC lens.
However, I am open to considering other options if you have a different model available for sale or rental.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Ed

If you're looking for Pentax 67 equipment Japan ( ebay) is probably the best place. Friends of mine, one in particular ( 2 bodies and 4 lenses, the 55mm and 135 looked mint, no dust fungus etc.) have obtained their kit from Japanese dealers, comparatively reasonable prices, ok duty to pay, but the dealers seem to have a high sense of "honour" for supplying accurately described equipment and indeed some will only supply excellent condition kit.

Wish I had never sold mine. If you do get one please pm me where you got it etc.

I will do that; I have found a UK seller who sells, repairs and services them. I am happy to share his details via a private message.

Yes, I've heard mixed reviews regarding Japanese sellers. The cameras do seem to be in better nick over there, and the prices are tempting.
I have purchased a fair bit from Japan, never any issues.
The import duty can be a bit of shocker, I always used to factor around 20%.
On the odd occasion I have paid zero.
There are a few 67's in the UK.
I have dealt with all 3 with no issues.

My 67 was undoubtedly the favourite camera I have ever owned, and like Huw regret selling it (but at the time was necessary). I keep wistfully thinking of (re)buying one, but the cost (not just the camera, but all that film, etc)…… one day…

Sadly wyecameras are closing. I was only in the shop 2 weeks ago and read they were closing last week.
Mr Cad might be worth a look. Haven't dealt with them in years but they do mostly if only film cameras.
