I haven't tried the older models, although I hear from fellow photographers that the 67ii is worth the extra price. For me it has a built in meter which is indispensable for me as I'm horribly lazy with metering light the manual way. I shot my second roll of film on Sunday and definitely confirm the handholdability. Be warned about the weight but for me, it's definitely worth it.

I've had my eye on a Pentax 6x7 for awhile now. I've been mainly interested in the models that feature mirror lock-up because of the mirror slap you mentioned. It's great to see sharp hand held shots like this one are possible with this beast at 1/50th; shooting hand held with the aperture stopped down might be tougher though. Thanks for the informative post. Inspiring blog Lawrence!

Yeah i have high hopes for the Epson - I suspect it will be ok, partly because the lowly Canoscan 8800F actually turns in very good results and if it wasn't for the colour quality, I'd consider using it a while longer. In any case, I'll definitely post some results as soon as I get it.

I'll be interested to see how your results are with the V700. I've put off doing medium format mainly because I don't have a film scanner for it, the Nikon 9000 is essentially unavailable and quite expensive, and everything I've seen suggests that even the V750 isn't really all that great. But I'd sure like to do some landscapes on 6x7 (or 6x9, for that matter). Nice! I’ll be interested to see how your results are with the V700.
