Yes.  That's a good idea and the safe thing to do.

But consider film consumption.  The camera takes only 15 pairs
in a 36 exp. roll.  Doubling them will only give you 7-8 hypers per
roll.  Ouch! :-)  (An SLR will give you 18 hypers)

Of course, if someone has the money to buy one of
these, most probably will have the money for film and processing and
RBT mounts too... But look at DrDave... He spent all his money on
the RBT camera and now he does not have any left for RBT mounts, that's 
why he is using Spicer mounts! :-) :-) :-)
