The Pentax 645N is so well designed that Leica copied its shutter speed knob five years later in the Leica M7. The 645N is even easier to use than today's Nikons, and a lot easier to use than today's Canons. The 645N allows exposure compensation in third stops, has an auto exposure lock and manual metering reads to thirds of a stop with a six-stop range bar graph! This outdoes anything from Nikon or Canon. The 645N has none of the glaring omissions of the original 645. The Pentax 645N adds autofocus, matrix metering, a shutter-speed knob, an exposure compensation knob, a self timer, a much brighter and sharper viewfinder with far more displayed information and film-edge data imprinting! The finder's diopter control clicks in nicely and doesn't move around as it does on the older 645 and other cameras. The Pentax 645N is a huge step forwards from the earlier Pentax 645. There are no menus everything has its own knob, as it should. Forget reading the instruction manual it's awful. It replaced the manual-focus Pentax 645, and was later replaced by the very similar 645N II. This is Pentax' second medium format 645 camera. It is completely compatible with all Pentax 645 film backs and 645 lenses, both manual and auto focus. The Pentax 645N is an autofocus medium-format SLR.
