I have at least a dozen, as I develop my B&W at home so I always keep a few in case. I think some people do sell them on ebay but at daft prices.

I wish I had the space to do that. Commercial dev and scan is convenient and good quality but a bit painful on the wallet.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It would seem that the original poster, the "OP," doesn't have a manual for the camera. While the 645n is "almost" intuitive in its operation, there are little quirks which would take a neophyte a long time to discover without instruction. Have a look at this site http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ It is a treasure trove of camera and allied gear manuals, all free! Please send Mike Butkus, the proprietor, a contribution so he can keep up the wonderful service he renders.
I think you will really enjoy the 645n. Watch for the 35mm wide angle, it is stellar, as is the 120 mm macro.

Hertfordshire, mostly.
I once lost a take up spool thereby rendering a very expensive camera useless for want of a part you cannot buy
I request the empty spool when submitting film to be developed and get it back with the negs/slides. As you say, you cannot buy spares.
Best regards
I asked my developer if they could send me one and they sent me a bunch. If anyone needs a spare spool... just send me a PM. K.
