Also, it takes interchangeable 6x7 and 6x6 backs; since the "normal" lens for 6x7 has a longer focal length (100 mm) than for 6x6 (80 mm), does this mean that when changing backs it will be necessary to change lenses? Or are the two focal lengths close enough so it doesn't matter? What is it that makes a particular focal length "normal" for a particular format?
