how much gear do you normally carry?
i'm not talking about special assignments or for holidays, but just on a saturday afternoon when you plan to take a few shots.

would it be one camera and 2 lenses or 2 cameras and 4 lenses?
i'm talking just bodies and lenses here.

One camera, one lens for walking around. Traveling, as many as two cameras ans four lenses.

Typical would be M6 / 50 or Mamiya 7 / 65. Add the possibility of a short telephoto in my pocket.
 
If I'm going for a walk from home to town, then it's one camera, one lens - whatever I feel ike using that day. If i'm going for a drive with the prospect of some dedicated photography time, then 2 bodies with 2 or 3 lenses. Maybe a MF camera as well. Again, whatever I feel like using that day.
 
Lately three bodies/lenses with a bag (rangefinders)... Before that, one body/three lenses with a bag (slr)... But sometimes just one body/lens without bag... And other lens in a pocket to have wide and short tele...

Cheers,

Juan
 
I have a small bag with my IIIf, lenses, film & accessories in it. I grab it on the way out the door.

Just for fun walking around: One camera, one lens.

Going to an outing like a picnic, one or two cameras, two or three lenses.

Vacation for a few weeks: three cameras, four or five lenses.

Lens testing: one camera, fourteen lenses. Does not happen often. They were all 50mm f2 lenses...
 
Usually just 1 and 1. But not today when I was test driving my new (used) M7, with 28 & 50 :)

Holidays, trips, occasions, 2 or 3 lenses.
 
If I'm going on a walk a bout I like to keep it lite with one body 2 lenses maximum. A 50 & a 35 are my most common lenses for my Bessa R.
 
One body with one or sometimes two lenses (probably 50mm and 28/35mm). Possibly two bodies and three lenses for holidays or somewhere I may want more flexibility. Oh, and a meter.
 
I generally leave home in the car with a small backpack with 1 MF body and my X-Pan and 2 lenses for each.

But I also carry an empty small shoulder bag so that when I get out of the car on location I can transfer and carry a smaller selection of that gear if I want to.
 
If I'm out with a 35mm RF on an afternoon looking for what comes my way, one camera and 3 lenses in a small bag does it.

If I'm doing something else and am bringing a camera too, one camera and one lens (50mm).
 
One camera and a couple of lenses, but since I have the Konica Dual 21/35, that's all I need.
 
When I travel to a new place or return to a place I like, I'll carry one camera and 2-3 lenses in a bag.

At home, or when I go someplace local to take pictures, one camera and one lens. The potential sacrifice of a few shots if only I had another lens is worth it compared to the hassle of carrying stuff around.
