Not all of them.... the one I had was compromised by coma.
I never did bother adapting the 645 to prime focus of my ota... I ended up making a camera body that used 4x5" tech pan sheet film... the process of taking an image included focusing using a knife edge, wrapping myself (and the focal plane in) a black sleeping bag to keep out stray light as the negative was placed in the camera.... manual guiding with an illuminated reticule for what seemed like an eternity (f9) then developing the negatives in trays in the garage before dawn... it was challenging but rewarding. Each successful image was like climbing k2.
