The Makina 67 (March 1979) uses an 80mm f/2.8 Nikkor designed for the camera. Plaubel was owned by Japan's Doi group from 1975, and the camera was developed after that purchase. The 670 (1984) added 220 film capability; there is no auto exposure or AE lock on any model. Check the bellows with a light and rangefinder accuracy. The W67 has a 55mm f/4.5 Nikkor.
