Yes, this is correct. Do not move the locating lugs!!

Thanks again to everyone for all the help. I ended going for the Hasselblad 2000 FCW. I don't have much to compare to with my lack of experience in MF, but my first few days with it have made me very happy. I put a roll of tri-x thru it and printed a couple negs. I'm so impressed with this format... Just beautiful.

Although battery operated, I will get CF lenses and use the lens shutter if need be. I doubt I will ever need anything quicker than 1/500 shutter speed in the winter...
