When I first contemplated going into medium format, my concern with the Pentax 645 was the lack of interchangable backs. Now, not only do I *not* miss having interchangable backs on my 645, I've come to view it as one of the most overrated and unnecessary features of medium format cameras. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
