If I take one body and 3 lenses (35, 50 and 90) I can be assured of never having the appropriate focal length on the camera for a particular shot. When I carry two bodies (M6TTL and M2) one with a 35 and one with a 90, I feel like a walking advertisement for how _not_ to be inconspicuous. (Perhaps it is the "full cleveland" and hawaiian shirt.......) Yes, I am new at this. Still have to remember to take the lense cap off.
