Oh, 645! (dreamy sigh)

My 645 came in last night...Its actually much larger and heavier than I remember it being when I played with it in teh store (which means the 6x7 must be mammoth compared to what I remember). Needless to say, I'm quite happy... However, I've got some questions.. First off, it came with the

The best I can remember is they are there for info only purposes. Right, so those labels off to teh side of the display (Av/Tv/ISO) don't actually have any corresponding dots or something IN the display? I'll look at my 645n and see if it's on that also. I can't recall the hole you're asking

It's not the manual rewind knob is it? On the bottom of the camera there should be a threaded knob that looks like a battery cover only it has black rubber around it. It's missing from a lot of used 645's. And I don't meen the internal small battery cover. If this knob is there you'll know it.

According to St. Ansel's The Camera, a given focal length lens will project the same size subject on the negative, regardless of format. For example, if, on a 35mm negative, a 50mm lens creates an image that is 1/2 inch high, the same length lens (50mm) will create an image that is 1/2 inch high
