I don't know much about the differences between the 645 and 645n, so I
can't help you much there.
The data imprinting springs to mind, as does more frames per roll.
Better meter too, supposedly...You should be able to find some specs on
the web somewhere.
As far as the diffs between 645 and 35mm, here are a few:
- Though it handles sort of like a 35mm slr, it's still pretty big. The
75mm is almost pancake-like, and makes for a relatively compact
package, but it's a far cry from a zx-5n + 43mm...
- You can't rewind film in the 645n. Once you've loaded a roll, that's
it. I wish someone would tell me a trick to get around this...
- The 645 has fewer lens choices, plus they're obviously going to be
pretty dang expensive. Yes, I said 'dang'.
- MF film/processing ain't cheap either. Yes, I said 'ain't'.
- The 645n seems pretty loud to me.
- The 645n has a very nice finder. I find focusing manually pretty easy.
That's what springs to mind right now, I'm sure others will jump in to
fill the gaps...
