Only the 4000 and 5000 take the 35mm roll film adaptor (snail's shell).
The IV and V don't have a hole in the back to let the film pass trough.
I've been using a V for about a year now, and am very satisfied with it,
I haven't used any other though, so there is no compare.
A secondhand 4000 will set you back about the same as a new V.
Wise decisions and good hunting. :)
