Jaap et al, I can't give any input yet on HIE thru the back as I have
been too busy to shoot any.  However I can say that loading is not that
difficult. Once you play with it bit it's fairly easy.  Mine was used
and had no iinstructions and I still figured it out.  It is certainly
much easier than a Horizon 202 anyway.   

As for lens quality you are still shooting a full 58cm width just like a
645 neg so it shouldn't be too apparent if they are not quite as crisp. 
It has always been my impression that most good lenses resolve better
than the films used and HIE is certainly not Tech Pan.
