A few weeks ago I posted an open question, does anyone have a 645 that suffers from the widely reported 2 or 3 second start-up delay when there's actually film in the camera? No one has answered to say they have, so it seems this is a 645 myth based on playing with the camera without film in the magazine. I guess the start-up delay is something to do with the camera searching for film to load, as even without film there's no delay if the back is removed or left open.
I remember some other postings from a few months ago suggesting you had to adjust the dioptre setting every time you changed lens, and that this was referenced in the instruction manual. I can't find any such reference in my copy of the manual, and it seems an implausible idea. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
By the way, it's not a very flattering reflection on Contax that they allow misconceptions such as start-up delays to circulate. I'd have hoped they would have monitored sites such as this and even if they didn't want to comment directly "planted" a non-attributable source to set the record straight.
