By that definition, a backup camera would be one that I ONLY used when something went wrong with my normal camera. I do not have such a camera. But when I go out with my Leicas, I always have more than one M6 with me, because I want to be able to shoot both slide and B&W during the same outing. If I am driving, I frequently also have the R8/SL outfit in the car, and if I anticipate low-light situations, then the M3 also comes along (it is dedicated to high-speed film). Now, there are occasions when even a single M6 is too much camera to take along (f.ex. when riding to the office on my motorcycle or doing a quick business trip, in and out the same day with little or no spare time anticipated). For those occasions there is always a Ricoh GR1 in my pocket. Nathan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
