It really isn't a large camera, especially considering the size of the 
negative.  The 67 has a bad rep for being beastly huge, when really it's 
only beastly huge compared to something like an ME Super.

Once you have a medium format camera, you realize that EVERYTHING is 
worthy of the larger negative.  I personally have been guilty of 
shooting party snapshots with my 67 on more than one occasion.

Look deep into my eyes...you are getting sleepy...you want bigger 
negatives...you want grainless prints...you want stunning SMC 
glass...you will succumb to the charms of the Pentax 67, you WILL 
succumb to the charms of the Pentax 67...

p.s. who's seen "Matinee"?  I can see myself with the spinning circles 
from the "Eyes of Doctor Diablo" trailer superimposed on me...
