Is the 165mm F2.8 worth considering for protraits if i have the 105mm F2.4 already?

My current setup consists of the 55mm F4 and the 105mm F2.4. I especially love the 105mm and i use it alot in my portraits. The 5mm also finds use sometimes for more environmental portrait shots and of course in my landscape photography.

Now i am considering expanding my Kit a bit and i've been looking at the 165mm F2.8. I love the images it can create, but i worry that i would barely use it because of the amazing 105mm F2.4.

Is the 165mm F2.8 still something i should consider? Or should i look at other lenses?

For context i mostly shoot Portraits, Architecture, Nightscapes and Landscapes.

Pentax 67ii issue

I loaded a roll the other day and got to the start position and the camera wouldn't fire. Meter wasn't giving a reading, but the top LCD was showing frame 1 and the ISO. At that time the camera wouldn't allow me to change the ISO either. I figured the batteries were low and swapped em. The meter was then reading and I could change the ISO, but it still wouldn't fire. I decided to waste the roll and open it up to inspect. The winding lever moves freely but the take-up spool doesn't spin, still won't show a meter reading or fire the shutter. Thoughts?

Winder Issues???

Hey all,

I recently purchased a Pentax 6x7 (Original, non-MLU) that unfortunately seems to have some wonder issues. It’s a bit peculiar because I shot a test roll of Kodak Gold which turned out great, all ten frames looked normal. After that, I shot a roll of TMax which has some issues (see attached pictures). On the roll of TMax, the lab sent me 13 scans, 4 of which have no overlap or issues, but many others are overlapped/doubly exposed. Has anyone else had this issue or know what it is? Is the camera cooked or did I load the roll of TMax wrong and it’s just user error?

TL;DR: Potential winder issues, wondering if it’s problem with camera or user error

Thanks 🤙

Pentax 67 medium-format lenses on the S5II

I’ve noticed that there are adapters available for Pentax 67 medium-format lenses to fit the L-mount. Apart from wondering whether this is actually feasible, I can’t find any photos taken with these lenses and the S5II. I was wondering if anyone uses this type of adapter and would be willing to share some photos.
