Jeff,

The 100 or Rapid-Omega handles a lot better than the 200 or M.  You have no
separate dark slide to consider (big advantage), there is a knob which when
turned operates an internal dark slide allowing lens changes mid-roll.
There are also fewer places for potential light leaks.

If you regularly want to change film types during a shoot then the 200 or M
is the way forward - otherwise go for the earlier and cheaper camera.  With
the 120 back you have only 10 shots before having to change the film anyway
;-)

Pretty easy, but forget trying to use grad. filters ;-)


All the best,
