I've tended to use a IIIF not so much as a backup camera, but as a 2nd camera on which I'll mount a different focal length than the one I've got on the M. This gives me a bit of a variety and keeps me from changing lenses as much as I might otherwise want to. This past week I broke down and bought a second M body - the new 0.58 M6, so I'll now be using two M's, which is great. It remains to be seen whether or not I'll manage to leave the IIIF at home, or whether I'll have it along too. Guy Bennett Los Angeles, CA
