When I used film commercially, I also carried my Rollei for 'my' shots. With the current lighter load it's much easier to carry a film camera along. In my case I carry around a IIIA with a 2.8cm Hektor. It never raises a hackle, unlike the SLR. If anything, I'm shooting more of my own material on film. Since I don't have to consider another film camera on a shoot, it keeps the confusion level to a minimum. Slobodan Dimitrov
