A company called "Vintage Camera Deals" in Newlands, Cape Town is selling a lot of Vintage Pentax Stuff including a host of 6x7 items. With the US$/SARand exchange rate at about 1 to 14 it would be quite cheap in Dollar terms. I am sure that transportation the the US could easily be arranged. Have a look: https://www.gumtree.co.za/s-pentax/v1q0p1 Alan C

Thanks for posting that Alan. I just scrolled through most of the listings. Tak 500/4. 28mm shift lens. Many other K-mount lenses and bodies, in addition to the 6x7 gear. So many temptations!

I'm sure roughly $1000 is a good price for a 28mm shift (a lens that I've always been intrigued by), but even that's a bit more than I'm prepared to pay for something I'd probably hardly ever use. (The same goes for all that nice 6x7 gear, too - I'm getting to the age where even a K-5 and four or five lenses is getting a bit heavy by the end of the day).
