Aaron, I haven't noticed a speed difference, but I have not really used pre-67II's. Just hefted them in the shop.

I just have to get another lens or two first - fisheye, 45, etc. Brother Bruce Wednesday, April 17, 2002, 12:27:34 PM, you wrote: AR> An interesting tidbit that came out during a conversation with a Toronto AR> pro's assistant -- that sudden influx of Pentax 67s at Downtown Camera AR> in the fall was because this photographer traded in most of his AR> well-used 67s for 67IIs.
