Anyone familiar with these medium format press cameras? I'd like to know whether the 120 and 220 backs are cross compatible between the Omega Rapid, Rapid M, Rapid 100 and Rapid 200.
Cheers!

P.S. Moderators, if there is a more suitable location for this thread, please move it.

C'mon, I know there's some of you out there with a PJ background that abused the hell out of one of these! I need another back for a non-M Omega and the pickings are SLIM!

According to this the answer is no, the Rapid back is not interchangeable between models.

Yeah what he said...

I have a 220 back that is not compatable with my Rapid M...
20 shots on a roll would be much nicer than the 10 that the 120 gives you, but my local photo store only really caries 120 anyways so its not a huge loss to me.

If you have any other questions about this camera, you might try the forums at photo.net; I'm pretty sure there are Koni-Omega Rapid users there.
