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. Mark William Rabiner
