The Pentax 67 II (1998) is the final iteration of the 67 line. It modernizes the electronics: 6-segment matrix metering through the AE prism, aperture-priority autoexposure (a first for the 67 line — earlier bodies were manual only), redesigned grip with built-in handle, and CR123A batteries replacing the older 6V silver-oxide format. The mechanical core is unchanged: focal-plane cloth shutter to 1/1000s, 1/30s flash sync, mirror lock-up, no rotating back (you turn the camera).
