The Pentax 6x7 (known as Pentax 67 after 1990) is an SLR medium format system which produces images on the film that are nominally 6 cm by 7 cm in size (56mm by 70mm in the film gate).  It originally debuted in 1965 as a prototype dubbed the Pentax 220. Since then and with improvements, it was released in 1969 as the Asahi Pentas 6×7, as well as the Honeywell Pentax 6×7 for the North American import market. In 1990, it received a number of minor engineering updates and cosmetic changes and was renamed the Pentax 67.

The camera resembles a traditional 35 mm SLR camera with an interchangeable viewfinder and lens, but is considerably bigger and heavier, weighing 2.3 kilograms (5.1 lb) with the plain prism and standard (105 mm f/2.4) lens. 

The following models have been issued:

• 
  Asahi Pentax 6×7 – the original model, launched in 1969 (first generation)


• 
  Asahi Pentax 6×7 (MLU) – with a mirror lock-up mechanism, launched in 1976 (second generation)
