I've been thinking about an upgrade to a K20D, D300 or D700...

Instead of wading into the madness that is high tech, my Anna got me a Mamiya 645 - looks like the original to me, with a penta-prism finder - I don't really know a lot about it, but I'm excited to try it out. It seems to be in great working order. It came with an 80mm f/2.8.

Does anyone have advice or pointers for a novice? I'm going to need a light meter, I guess, although I *imagine* that I can use my *istDS to give me an EV. Is there anything I should know about moving to a 6x4.5 format? The viewfinder is beautiful, and makes me think that I might actually be able to take a manually focused shot. It also makes me wonder at how dependent I am on technology these days.

Happy Holidays to all.
