[Leica] Cameras Real Pros Use

[red735i at verizon.net (Frank Filippone)]

Forget all the stories about reliability, as we still use the Digi-M because
it uses Leica Glass.  And, as amateurs, we can tolerate the reliability
problems....

It only shows that you need a backup camera.  If you use N or C cameras, a
backup, even a lower model or older model,  can be bought in most countries,
and even if you do pay more than you want or buy a film camera, it will be
cheap, relative to what it would cost in an emergency to buy a new M9 in
some Podunk location, if possible at all.  And therein the problem for us
Leica fans.. we MUST bring a backup camera with us....  Mine is an M6TTL.  I
carry 4-6 rolls of film and figure I can always buy some form of C41 film or
even B+W no matter where in the world I am.  

The backup stays in my luggage for the trip.  Not in the camera bag.
