Hi Feli,
It's quite simple really, because your subjects are engrossed in their 
meeting discussions and really pay you no attention. However, if you're a 
stumble bum, kick waste cans over or are making "camera and lens changing 
noises .... you will be asked to leave!"

And that's where the M cameras come in. Or that's been my experince on many 
of these type of meeting assignments. And therein comes the use of 3 M's at 
one time.... you do not have to change lenses, you sit there watch the light 
and the expressions and click away. :-)

And definately when you move, you hold the cameras into your body so they 
don't clank together.
