I have a 647 that I haven’t used for a while so my recollection is a bit vague. What does stick in my mind is that the pentaprism on my (old) Pentax *ist DS DSLR used to collide with the cube body of the 647 when I tried to rotate the body by using these 3 long grub screws.

Just checked, the 1000d flash assy sits behind the plane of the 3 grub screws, so it's all free to rotate if I wish. My concern there is that the grub screws are quite difficult to grasp, small knobs and sandwiched between the camera body and the 647 body.
BTW, I'm not much of a viewer guy, old lousy eyesight. The 12mm EP is just that I'm embarking on the learning of drift alignment. So far, not much luck due to clouds. Maybe tonight....
