I still think that laptops would be a much more saleable item for thieves to re-sell than film cameras these days.

Regarding the comments about digital, it's the same bag, whether you're using a DSLR or film camera, and some of us need to travel with a laptop even when shooting film, because we're also writing, using the internet, sending e-mail, recording expenses, etc. The UD 50 works just as well in my experience with an SLR or DSLR and four primes or my Linhof Tech V 23b and up to 6 lenses. If I'm traveling, I put my laptop in the laptop slot to carry on the plane and put one or two rollfilm backs, empty, in checked luggage, then when I'm settled, I can take my laptop out and use the laptop slot for film.
