Yes
I bought one a few months back and I haven't used it as much as I intended to.. the problem.. it doesn't really fit in any of my array of camera bags I own messenger bags, peak design pouches, a lowpro aw rucksack thing and my go to camera back, isn't a camera bag it's a very standard berghaus backpack often padded out with inserts from other camera bags. The pentax doesn't fix comfortably in anything. It's down the size and shape that's the problem.
ideally, I'm after the smallest possible bag that it'll fit in, so I can just whip it out when on a photo walk. If I'm doing a longer trek then it's not the end of the world to take the handle off and that gives me a few more options..
 
Ben be careful if you do " just whip it out " you my get arrested :ROFLMAO: :exit:
 
I have one of these:


I don't have a Pentax 67, but it will hold my Fujica GW690, which is pretty big, or my Bronica ETRSi with back and WLF, plus space for an extra lens.

There's a larger version of the same bag available too.

It can make my shoulder a little sore if I'm carrying a lot of heavy gear for a long time, and as it's aged it sometimes makes creaky squeaky sounds when I walk (the bag, not me!), but its otherwise been practical and able to carry lots of different things (such as a Yashica TLR and a 35mm SLR at the same time).

Nice one, I'll take a look.. I think a 'boxy' camera bag is the way foward for this one
 
I've had several Pentax 6x7 cameras over the years and I always used mine with Billingham bags. For a long time, I mostly just used a Billingham Hadley Large, but occasionally the 25 rucksack. I did eventually also pick up a Hadley Large Pro though, which was much roomier, allowing space for more lenses, attaching a tripod, etc.

If I'm doing a longer trek then it's not the end of the world to take the handle off and that gives me a few more options..

I guess the caveat to my comment above is that I never used any kind of grip or handle with my Pentaxes (although I did use a Kirk L-Plate for tripod use). Do you need the handle or can you replace with something smaller (and/or easier to take on/off), which might open up more bag options?
