Well, then they are either moving down to Pentax 645 or maybe the cheap plastic Mamiya 645E or 35mm or rangefinders, because virtually everything else is as heavy or heavier. Perhaps the 67 gives the impression of being big and heavy, but in actual comparison, it is not. With lens and prism, it weighs less than a Hasselblad 500C with lens and NO prism, and the Hassie is much harder to use hand-held. My Mamiya C330 twin lens was heavier AND more awkward to hand-hold. I think what makes the P67 look so big is its tall prism. Most other cameras in this format don't have prisms in their default configurations. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
