Now you can learn about the Scheimpflug effect.You’re just making up words.
Unless you are talking about Oskar Scheimpflug - Bavaria’s preeminent doctor of veterinary medicine/amateur taxidermist.
I even looked how to spell it!
I did make it work (once) with a Linhof Karden Color 45S.

Here is the added info the Pentax 645N adds to the edge of the frame. If they had done the between frame edge there wouldn't be any conflict with the manufacturer's markings. Still think it is a great idea

I love that. Also you mentioning switchable backs probably makes me reconsidering MF & the P645

Ineound,
Technically, the 645 and 645N (645N II?) do not have "switchable backs". You can use a 120 or 220 back, but once you start the roll you usually have to finish it. They do have a plastic box that, if you have a darkroom bag, you could pull and store a partial roll while starting another roll using a second back. I consider not having a dark slide (like many medium format cameras do) a shortcoming. Still love the camera though. Pentax built these like tanks, and I really doubt you can find a more affordable AF, Auto exposure, and AA powered motor winding body that uses such excellent reasonable priced lenses. Also, the focus confirmation of MF lenses was a huge selling point for me.

Testing a new to me body (645N) with the fungus cleaned Pentax 645 lenses. I needed a little help in confirming focus, and the 645N has a handy dandy green dot + a beep. Just what an old guy like me needs. Happy to say both lenses performed beyond my expectations.

Never paid on attention on mine, since I attached a auto lens.

I've only got one of those FA lenses (45-85). Works great though a bit slower compared to the primes

Highly appreciate your input & explanation! Tbh I prefer 6x6 in MF anyhow, but nothing urgent to decide. Currently building my Leica low-cost setup and evaluating if rangefinders have a place for me as I am wearing glasses.....

My Hasselblad H1 and Nikon F6 prints the data between frames, not in the rebate.
The H1 is also af and has the focus confirmation dot for mf. But no beep.

Obviously a good idea. With the Pentax 645 I reverted to a small spiral notebook - an old habit. I did it with the 655N as well - not trusting it to work properly.
