Wista 45SP - figured most of it without a manual, but...

[pmazolo]

Hi, I just bought a Wista 45SP, with no manual. Could anyone give me some help to figure out som points (I used a Sinar, but never a field camera before):

1. It is supposed to have a fresnel screen. I dont see anything resembling fresnel lines.....it does say WISTA on the ground glass, and behind that is a clear glass with grid lines....should the fresnel lines be visible if its there?

2. The two "buttons" on top of the back, on each side of the flash/viewfinder shoe, what are those. I press then down and nothing seems to happen or come loose....

3. There seems to be a distance scale mounted for a 135mm lens. How can that be used? What position to put tha front standard etc?

4. Are there any nice cases available for the Wista along with some film holders, a polariod back and 2 extra lenses?
