Hi John,
	How do you manage all of these bodies.  I can see where it would
be much faster than 1 body and three lenses but how do you keep them
accessible and yet not a burden when you are out and about?

I also used a incident meter most of the time before getting the M6TTL.
The
MR-4 was used mainly when travelling to make a smaller kit. As you
probably
guessed, the TTL is my main body and I only use the other bodies when I
want
to have other lenses easily at hand. I can meter just as accurately with
the
TTL though the technique is different. So I meter the scene with the TTL
and
set all the cameras to its readings. The most used lens goes on the TTL,
the
second most used lens on the M4-2 and the least used lens on the M2.
That
way I reload the M2 less often than the other easier to reload bodies.
