I had a lot of difficulty focusing my Mamiya 645 Pro TL which is why I switched to Hasselblad H1. These cameras really are harder to focus than I imagined.

"PING" - It literally flew off - being under so much tension. Hopefully, this will result in more keepers. One more frame from the first roll of 30+ year old Verichrome Pan.That’s probably why there’s a cottage industry for replacement screens, focusing aids and other gizmos.

Before I got the Pentax brand magnifying eyepiece - I duct taped my Nikon FM Magnifying eyepiece to the 645. Their design is identical - and it worked. Screws on with a hinge so you can flip it up so you can see at 100% for framing - pop it down to check critical focus. A clever design really. It's all mounted and works great, but the corrosion ate away about 4mm of the top of one thread. It just isn't clean enough. I was using toothpicks, and jewelers tweezers. I need to brush small drops of lime away, or vinegar to dissolve the crud, clean - then give it a thin coat of helicoid grease.

Interesting.
I have both Pentax 645N and Mamiya 645 Pro.
The 645N have auto focus so I don't pay any attention on it , but I have no problem to focus my 645 Pro.

Overlooked the camera gear.
I was like why there is a black line in the middle of the photo, lol

Some photos from what turned out to be my last roll of Flic Film Aurora 800 (it is apparently discontinued) and my first roll of Tri-X since the early 1970s. I shot the Aurora 800 on my Nikon FM3a with Nikkor 50mm/1.4 Ai-S; the Tri-X went through my Holga.
