One. Either a 35/Hexar Rf, or 75/M6ttl .85x combo--both summicrons. That's pretty much my entire kit--

35 (which I use most of times) + 75 and 12.
Or 35 + 50 + 75 .
But I'm training my self to go only with one lens on the camera (35 or 50) and only one additional lens. I like to move light.

At least one (usually 35 or 50).
Often two, with two bodies (35 and 75).
Sometimes two extras, ultra-wide (15-18-21) and long (90-135).
Depends on how long I'll be away for, and where I'm going. Ten days away in the Pyrenees, probably 5 at least. Out for the day, quite possibly 1 or 2.
But they don't weigh much or eat much, so I don't worry about the extra ones. All I care about is the time I waste changing 'em.
Cheers,
R.

That depends. Lately I've been using the Yashica GSN, so the answer would be one. But when I use the CL, it would be two. If I'm on a long trip where I'd have both a rangefinder and an SLR, it may be as many as six.

It depends on what I'm doing I guess.
A lightweight kit with my Bessa R I tend to use 35 and 75 combo if I'm on the bike. Otherwise I carry 35, 50 and 90 and maybe the tiny CV 28 Skopar as well.
Out with the Bessa L I'll carry 15, 21 or 28.

I've taken one and I've taken all four plus my xpan with its one lens.
Lately I've been thinking about buying a strobe, support and umbrella; I'm old this is a lot to carry!!! The truth is available light is OK but I need to be more sophisticated about light.

Usually two, Summilux 50/1.4 and Summicron 35/f2 ASPH. But at times when I'm not carrying a bag, only the one lens on the camera. I also have a CV 25/4P Color-Skopar, but I've rarely used it. I've been thinking about getting a 75 or 90.

I'm still getting use to the photography where I recently moved to, so I end up taking 3 lenses: 28, 50 and 85. My 35 is staying home these days ever since I got a 28. I think I might be selling it soon. (I don't have a working rangefinder anymore, so these are all SLR lenses.
So far the most used lens has been the 85 for me. (I use to love 28, so I don't know what's happened). Truth be told, I am also starting to use me Fujifilm s6000fd more and more with its 28-300 zoom lens, but my wife likes that camera too much so I have to leave it at home when I go by my self.

Currently on a week's visit back east; (in Boston right now- anyone want to shoot tomorrow?) I'm carrying an M3, a 50 and 21 for it, and an Oly XA.

If it's 35mm, just a 40mm. If I have the ol' 6x7 MF then usually one, but sometimes two. That's about it!
My other two are fixed lens (a folder and the holga.)
I'm low maintenance <shrug>

I always keep my same bag with me so all of my usual Contax lenses are in it - 35, 50/1.5, 85 & 135 with my 50/2 collapsible on whichever body I'm using.

40 for RF, that's the only lens I have and I think this is what I like.
35 and 50 for SLR. I shot with 50 for a bit longer than half of a year, and felt kind of bored, so I experimented a bit with 35 until I got my RF camera.
