Conversely, do many people shoot two bodies with the same film? Personally, I find it really difficult to switch between between color and b/w. Before I get started shooting, yes. But after, no. <<< I've found the best use for two bodies is to use two lenses with the same film, for example one body with 560mm, other with 250mm, film determined by prevailing light conditions (K64 usually). This keep me ready for near and sort-of-far distance birds with virtually no downtime for changing lenses. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
