    Pentax 645N in a Manfrotto Active Sling I

    This post mirrors my old imgur post on transporting my 645N.

    My old Rowi bag. While it fits it's not an ideal bag for such a big camera.

    I've been looking for a while for a better bag now - but many quite obviously can't handle the 645, or are too expensive and not locally available to just give it a try. About a week ago I discovered the Active Sling I. Manfrotto seems to be phasing the Active Sling I out - I've seen it available in multiple places quite cheap, and got a new one for under 30 EUR. Cheap enough to just order it to see if it's usable with the 645 - worst case I'll have a fancy bag for my 35mm cameras.

    I can just fit the 75mm lens.

    It does have side pockets in just the right size for an 645 film holder, though.

    Using original 645 focusing screens in 645N/D/Z

    This post mirrors my old imgur post on how to use original 645 focusing screens in the newer cameras.

    Left the 645Z default focusing screen, right the 645 focusing screen with split screen and micro prism ring (UC-21). Focusing screens for 645N/D/Z are compatible (though the screen mounting frame on the 645Z is easier to handle than on the N), the original 645 screen has the same size and thickness as the later screens, but only one tab instead of the later two - and that one tab at a different location.

    There is a microprism focusing screen for the 645N (AA-82) as well as a split screen focusing screen (AB-82), but both of them are almost impossible to find, and if they're available, ridiculously expensive - easily over EUR 200. The UC-21 on the other hand can be had for around 30 EUR, including shipping.
