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.
