May I suggest an improvement? Use a reusable canister used for bulk loading on the take up spool to take up the exposed film so you don't have to unload the exposed film in a darkroom or light bag. It makes it so much easier.
I developed the film. Every bit of the film that could be used was used. The counter stopped at 21 or just after 20. No more film would pull out of the cartridge. I cut it next to the can in the darkroom. The pictures started at the very end by the leader. That was shot #2. I didn't get shot #1 at all.
First of all, thank you for making this video. Would you mind sharing the length of your film leader which is able to take 19 shots on a roll of film? Appreciate for your help.
@@HubertSo Yeah I'd like to know too. Otherwise I guess you'll have to try with test roll, insert at the start as in the video, wind on to first frame, open the back, and measure how much was wound on the spool. Add something for the actual, exposed film leader and you're done.
I just bought my 67 today. It was a dream camera that's been at the top of my list for a few years now, but the money I put on it still makes it not an 'easy' purchase. Seeing that this Panorama adapter exists for it, however--allowing even MORE versatility--makes me even MORE happy with my purchase. PS Any examples of the pics taken with this adapter?
How about when you don't use the built in meter? I have a metered prism myself but I believe its broken. I've watched other videos on the mounting order (prism first, then lens) but it doesn't seem to matter. The needle is stuck at the highest level despite lighting conditions. I've basically just used it as a non-metered prism but with the added weight and non-functioning metering, I opt for the waist level finder. I've been using an iOS app for metering and while it generally seems good, I feel like I could be more accurate. Thanks for your response!
That would work, using the reloadable cartridges or cans, but you would still need to attach the leader to the film and also to the inside of the can. A changing bag would be used to rewind exposed film back into the original can, and then detach the leader for another roll. Either way, it is much more work than 35mm. AND you have to make a negative carrier to print with. I did that.

Michael Carter so you had 19 shots in a 36 exposure roll?
Yes. I was going to say that. They were cut apart and put into sleeves and were counted. 19 resulted. No more can fit on a roll.

Nice that you got a 6x7. I did take a lot of images, but never showed them. I will look for them and post some.

thank you so much for there!@@MichaelCarter
thank you i learn from you i have that kind of camera
I would like to shoot 5222 negative movie film since I do a lot of that in 16mm movies
How long does the leader/old film have to be in order for frame 1 to be correct?
I didn't measure it
Hi Michael, thanks for another great 6x7 video. Quick question on metering, what do you use for a light meter?
+Adrian Keith When I use the Pentax the built in meter is used because long lenses are often used.

+Adrian Keith The Sekonic Studio Delux incident meter is my favorite. I just measure the light pointing the meter towards my camera. Simple.
Thank you!
The in camera meter
Instead of having a bare spool, can you have the exposed film feed into an empty can instead?
That would work, using the reloadable cartridges or cans, but you would still need to attach the leader to the film and also to the inside of the can. A changing bag would be used to rewind exposed film back into the original can, and then detach the leader for another roll. Either way, it is much more work than 35mm.

Do a search on eBay for panoramic conversion kit for Pentax 6x7
They were way too underdeveloped.
