There is plenty the F100 can do that the F90x CANNOT do without
the MF26. Things like auto exposure and flash bracketing (and the
ability to configure the number, order, and steps of the brackets);
multiple exposures; silent film advance and rewind modes; and
someone posted recently that CF#22 *may* allow the use of the
aperture ring w/ AF lenses to continue to display the f-num.
in the viewfinder (which the F5 doesn't).
In addition, the F100 has an analog display in the viewfinder for
manual exposure settings with +/- *two* stops.
Now, add the MF26, and things get evened-up a bit in terms of some
features; even gives the F90x an intervalometer which the F100
doesn't currently have available.

The F100 can do this, since it has the same AF module, and even
improved software over the F5. (I think they call this Focus tracking
with "Lock-On" .... doesn't the F90x also have this?)
