But when their first body/lens is in for repair and they are using their "backup" body/lens, they have "no" backup. And I know some folks who have had more than one body or lens go out on a single shoot. Professional photographers absolutely need expedited service on repairs. Leica has a loaner pool that a pro can use should he/she desperately need a piece of equipment. Leica has overnighted a piece of pool equipment to me more than once. I have patronized the same photographic supplier for over twenty years. When I have a piece of equipment go out, I am offered a loaner from the supplier immediately. And I have taken them up on their offer a few times. Jim
