I'm not ususally a one camera/one lens guy. I feel better prepared if there are at leastr 2 or 3 cameras in my bag. I've got several different kinds of camera kits that I use depending on my mood or the kind of photography I anticipate doing.
1) Leica screwmount: 2x IIf bodies with 35 Summaron f3.5, and 50 Elmar f3.5
2) Leica Mmount: 2x M2 bodies with 35 Summaron f2.8, and 50 col. Summicron f2. There is a 90f4 Elmar that I rarely use.
3) OM SLR: OM4 with 1 or 2 OM1's, 28, 35, 50, 100, 135mm lenses
4) Nikon F3hp: 2 or 3 F3's with 28, 35, 50mm lenses (includes fast f1.2 and micro 55f3.5 50's)
5) older Nikon kit: F, FTn, FT3, same lense as above
These are my basic 35mm kits. A Leica CL with CV21f4 lens is added if wide angle is desired. A Hexar RF with CV40f1.4 is added if low light conditions are anticipated.
Any single camera with a lens can be used all by itself when I do feel like just using one, but that is usually an OM2 or Pentax MX..
I'm missing a 28mm lens for the RF cameras, and a 20 or 21mm lens for the SLR's.
