Ah ah, score one for the 645N...

I have a brochure that VERY CLEARLY states that actual exposure time is imprinted for
the 645N in Bulb
mode.

Please let us know ASAP. I know shooting low light / astro type photo is a tall order
right now up north, but
even a black frame with lens cap on would clear this up. Say, 35 seconds, f2 ...

At this point, I think I would save for the 645N, assuming it has good cold weather
performance...
This business of BUlb mode not imprinting the actual time is a MAJOR, MAJOR show
stopper
for me.
