Sometimes I'll add the IIIc with the VC 4/21 or another M with a 50 or an R body, with the 50 or 180. Form me anything more than 4 bodies results in camera overload. Two feel perfect and I can still handle three comfortably. With four they start to bang into people etc and it's difficult to run or climb on to something. I have NO idea how Ted manages as many as he does, but then again he's Ted! 8-). I always take a small/medium bag to hold film, or stash a body, if freedom of movement becomes important. I also don't like to walk back to my car with $10,000 worth of camera gear hanging around my neck... When I travel I always take a spare body, so it ends up being 2 M and 35/50/90. Nothing worse than having your only camera crap out, with no replacement in sight. I've toyed with the idea of taking 2 M and a Rolleiflex, but that's quite a load and you're juggling two film formats... Oddly enough I do my best shooting with one body and lens...
