My 2 cents...
People on this list are always talking about a film backup for their digital
camera. I'm sure because they already have the film camera. To me this does
not make it a viable backup.
It's an apple backup for an orange.

Its "another camera" they you are bringing alone in case this main one
breaks.
But in a good sense can use the same lenses.
