Paul,
Welcome aboard! Can you describe the differences in regards for a different body used? I currently have a 205TCC with just (1) TCC12 and E-12 back. As a backup to the 205TCC, I have the 201F and a 2000FCM. All three of these cameras has been maintain by Dennis Greco and John Connelly(?).
Both great guys at the Parsippany office.
