	On a trip, I take either the M5 or the Hexar RF or both. But his
is not backup because if I'm out with one body and my lenses and I lose
that, I have no lenses for the other body.
	So there is always a Canon QL17-GIII in the suitcase.  Often by
the end of two week trip, I'm tired of schlepping the system around and I
just go out with the Canon and a few rolls of film..  The fact I'm not out
with the "serious" and expensive equipment is very relaxing and often
leads to some very good shots.  
	I wish I could use the classic Hexar this way, but the 1/250 max
shutter speed is a real handicap.
