blizzard and pentax 67
I am going in and out of the blizzard with the 67. Not far. Just around my block and so far haven't gone past 2nd avenue. Tripod of course. Mirror lock up - of course. I can't get the meter in the thing to work. Just one funny thing: it is true this makes a noise like a tank rolling over rubble when it fires off but if a Pentax 67 fires in a blizzard and nobody hears it - did it fire? You see where I'm going. Anyway, I'm just taking it easy. Go out - shoot a roll. Back into the house and drink some coffee. Oh, and I will say this: the Pentax 67 is not exactly a delicate camera.

Jeff, if money wasn't a concern, I would go for the Mamiya 7II in a second. For the type of shooting I was doing this morning - you are using the mirror lockup for each shot; and you can get quick with it; but still... not to mention the weight difference... If you are going to be using longer lenses, than you've got to go with a Hass or Pentax 67; but if you are using wide to normal, than the Mamiya is much easier to deal with.
