Why backups? Yesterday technology is old technology, plus if is so important, tomorrow will have half the price.

My moto is "if you don't use it, you don't need it".

+1 to that

That's a good rule for hobby.

The concept of backup is for professional photograhers who cannot afford a camera/lens failure during a paid shoot.

I can justify my camera collection, but everyone is different.

You don't have to. It's personal. It is not the same as a true 'backup' but may be that's not what you meant. I contemplated for a while to get a 'backup' for my D810 but then decided that it will last a while. If it dies sooner, I can replace with a used D850.

I got caught up in gear 'gathering' for a while and had stuff that was lying around, getting in the way. Last week I organized all my stuff into three or four 'kits' and got rid of the rest.... 4 Nikon lenses and 3 Canon lenses. Even a couple of nifty-fifties. They are cheap and small to carry around but if I am not using, they're not staying.

I now have (1) Nikon film SLR with a couple of lenses, (2) Canon film SLR with one lens and (3) Rebel DSLR with one lens. They all work well and are used rarely. The 2-body Nikon DSLR kit is the primary one actively used.

My posts/comments are just my opinion. I try to quote my experience to support my opinion, where appropriate. My disagreement with others' opinion is not a personal attack against the person, their knowledge or integrity. I politely explain why I disagree. If my comment is not clear, please ask.
I expect the same from others. And I hope to learn something from them. If they are attacking me as opposed to disagreeing with my opinion, I usually block them.
