Hi,

I need to change the bayonet on my 645 Pro TL camera. A repair manual
could be useful to know how to open the camera body. I didn't find it by
Google...

Any help is appreciated
Thank You
Armando

Thank You for Your answer.
I think I won't make any change on my camera.
The reason why I bought the bayonet is a little "play" of some heavy
lenses I had noticed. I use the camera for astroimaging and during long
exposures the rotation of the camera (to have no stars motion on the
frame) together with the weight of the lens could cause a little shift
of the lens... But I need to be sure this problem occurs since I have to
make some pressure to be able to manually "shift" the lens attached to
the bayonet.

Thank You again
Armando
