the 200 has both leaf and focal plane. 2 shutters. By your logic it owns and then some.

They just tend to be more expensive (at least they were last time I looked).

It helps that it's an awesome camera in its own right.

V700 is the standard recommendation. Good scanners are never really cheap.

You've picked one hell of a camera for your first rangefinder 8)

The problem is that after a while your eyes will be close enough that you need an actual meter to improve on them. Before that point they're kinda handy.

I had a question about the last picture. I've noticed my backgrounds appear to swirl when blurred. Is there any particular reason for this? Is that just the 'bokeh' caused by the leaf shutter?

It's a property of the lens' optical design.

If you're going to shoot color/slide film (and you should, because medium format slides are amazing) I'd recommend the better coatings, yes.

What you should do is wear a poncho at all times, then reverse it over your head onto the camera.

Holy crap, a TLR is a supreme pain in the rear end to shoot. I am sure all of the shots that I have taken on this roll (which, by the way, is likely 30+ year old Kodacolor II that was left in the camera by the previous owner) are going to be crooked as hell.

That and it's really hard to see if the shot is in focus.

Lest anyone think I am naysaying the camera, I've gone ahead and ordered a bunch of 120 film anyway.

Lined focusing screen and flip-out loupe!

Just keep it in the shade so it doesn't accumulate heat past ambient and you'll be fine.
