[Leica] The new m9 and I

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Yes, that's exactly why I have my Bessa R2M. I take it along on trips  
just in case something happens to the M8. So far I have not needed  
this insurance, but it is good to have anyway.

When I was shooting film, I always had 2 M bodies with me, one with  
B&W and one with slide film, but of course they also served as each  
other's backup.
