Pentax 67

In addition to the exclusive Leica R5 ELCOVISION 10 and the economical Ricoh 35mm camera, PMS AG now offers a medium-format single-lens reflex camera. The image format of 6cm x 7cm is appreciated as highly as the shape of the camera body - in contrast to the classic 6 x 6 cube format, the Pentax design echoes the form of 35mm cameras, with the advantages of extraordinary compactness and ease of operation.

For use as a photogrammetric camera in ELCOVISION 10 the Pentax 67 offers with its image format and interchangeable lenses a range of interesting advantages such as:


  • Direct measurement from slides or negatives in an analytical stereoplotter
  • Economical, fast aerial photogrammetry from low flying  heights for coverage of larger areas, such as coal dumps
  • Terrestrial photogrammetry
  • Architectural photogrammetry
  • Industrial photogrammetry
