I need the computer for my work, not the photography :lol: I rarely go on vacation. Right now I'm abroad with two TLRs and a bag of 9 K-lenses without K-camera. Waiting for Ricoh's Godot.
And behind my computer... on which I should do serious work...

that's why I'm now interested in the new body. I had the choice of only taking a TLR along (which works very well, but does impose some limits) or my Rolleiflex 6000 system (in which case I need to have at least two bags in cabin, one for the camera and one for the computer and other stuff, while it is heavy to lug around).

On a recent trip from Amsterdam to Vienna, I suddenly realised I hadn't removed my almost shot film in my Rolleiflex. Removed it, and they were very kind about it. I have experienced otherwise (NY) and I have experienced fogged 35mm films, Ektar 100 (in their metal canister). They say ISO 100 isn't sensitive...
I had a few years when I put an ISO 3200 among my films to demand hand checking... but they started to see through my tric.

Took a KX with me to New York, for the first time in 2 decades, with 135mm film. Shot 5 rolls in a few days, far more than I usually do.
Film had to go through the security scanner (camera did not have to be taken out). Severe fogging of the film, even though it was only 100 ISO (Ektar) and I had bought the film in New York, so it only went through security once.
Serious disappointment. Never had this with 120 film (when hand inspection was denied to me), perhaps the metal canister encourages cranking up the xray.
