Heck sometimes I have four M bodies hanging off various appendages. Not 
very often but it does happen. 24, 35, 50, 90 mounted and a 15 in the 
pocket. Oops I guess that means I need another body! One of these days 
I may even catch up to Ted.

PS: Usually it is just two lenses. For example when covering my son's 
soccer games I use a 35/135 combo. When shooting in his classroom a 
35/50 or 24/35.
