Personally I like the 6X7 105mm f/2.4 lens best for portraits because of the great bokeh, but I hear great things about the 120mm lens too

Wow! You have an awesome lens set! So far I’m happy with my 75mm. Though I might need a 120 or 150mm sometime soon. Is it good for portraits?

I have the following lenses by now, I like the A versions just as well as the FA versions:
Pentax 645 FA 45mm f/2.8
Pentax 645 FA 75mm f/2.8 (I use this one a lot)
Pentax 645 A 150mm f/3.5 (and this one)
Pentax 645 A 200mm f/4

I also have a Pentax 67II and the Fotodiox Pro PT67-PT645 adapter so I can use my Pentax 6×7 lenses on my P645NII; the 6×7 lens that I use most often is the S-M-C Takumar 6X7 105mm f/2.4 which is sort of famous for is great performance and bokeh.
As you can understand, the P67II is too heavy to travel with, so the P645NII is the go-to camera these days

Hi Hans! Thanks for reading my post. That’s a lot of rolls. You must have really enjoyed Japan. What lenses do you have? For now, I only have an FA 75mm f2.8

I just spent 5 weeks in Japan, mostly Tokyo, Chichibu and Hokkaido (in the snow) and shot 30 rolls. 🙂

Thanks Ian for reading my post. I go to a lab to process and scan my films. I still need to learn to process my films. Most of the time I use aperture priority and the Exposure value dial. But I kinda have an idea on how the exposure might be for my shot so I can do the right adjustment before I take the shot. If I think the camera can’t get what I need, I go to manual mode.

I used to shoot film too though i was mostly on either auto or apperture priority back then. I loved the anticipation of getting the roll back from the developers and seeing the final product. You are right that you really have to see your composition in your mind before you click that shutter whether shooting film or digital. Shooting film lets you train yourself to minimize chimping when going digital so you can have more time composing your shots.

Do you process your own film?
