PLEASE READ - VERY IMPORTANT: It has been brought to my attention (thankfully) that the sequence of the removal of the prism shown in this video ONLY applies to the non-TTL prism. If you have a TTL prism, you will likely break the linkage chain if you attempt to mount the TTL prism WITHOUT removing the lens first. ALWAYS remove the lens when mounting the TTL prism. Once it is in place, you can re-attach the lens.

Today we're doing a deep dive into the awesome Pentax 6x7. A monster of a medium format SLR, this series was produced for 40 years beginning in 1969. This camera is simply awesome. Come along as I take it out to Old Car City, in White, Georgia with a few rolls of Fujifilm Pro 400H.
