I have a few similar cameras, such as the two Minox 35's (one which doesn't like fast shutter speeds), a few EOS bodies... it's just handy to keep them loaded with different film. I.e. one EOS is loaded with Kodak Elite Chrome 100 extra color, other has plain Fuji Superia in it, another with Fuji Neopan Acros... it's just easy to pop off the lens, switch it around, then continue shooting with a different type of film.

in general 2 cameras.
same type (S, S2,R2S) or F's, F2's or F3's, one wide (21/35) one mid tele (85/105). One with B/W (wide) the other one colour (mid Tele)... plus, another one with a 50 on the bag 😉 B/W mostly.
I had enough situations of one camera only, getting something wrong and no backup!

For my latest 'film project' I'm using 5 Nikon Fs, three motorised and two not. I normally carry two motorised with a 35mm on one and a 85mm on the other and sometimes 135mm on the third motorised body. The non-motorised ones I use when I'm not out specifically shooting film or in the boot of the car etc.

I use to use one for color and one for B&W. Color film is getting so dang expensive to shoot. I am just rotating the two out now, three if you count the Mamiya 7.

You buy a few more because 2 are not enough, of course! 😉

How about 3 basically identical bodies?
I often carry:
Fujica GL690//100/3.5AE//Astia 100---- people/potraits
Fujica GL690//65/5.6 or 50/5.6// Velvia----environmental pics
Fujica GM670//150.5.6 or 180/5.6// Velvia---candid/isolation pics

When I go out for a dedicated photo walk where there is a rich possibility of pictures, I often carry 3 bodies with 3 diff focal lengths: 21, 28, and 40 or 50.

I have a lot of color film left, but once that is gone I probably won't shoot 35mm color film, only B&W. I'll be transitioning to digital for the color. The NEX-7 and X-100 have changed my mind on that score. Still color MF.
Two B&W bodies with different focal lengths, but usually I only use one body at a time because I prefer to squeeze my photographic day into one focal length, so I'm equally apt to take the same equivalent focal length out in MF along with the 35mm. Neopan 400 in the 35mm and Tri-X in MF.

It Is What It Is
Mostly my cameras are very similar. The difference for me now comes with the glass. At this time I can only carry one camera at a time due to medical restrains but I have been known to slip in another focal lenght in the bag. Film is what ever is on hand ,mostly Kodac or Fugi or drug store rebrands. Cameras are Canon P's or canon barnack's , sometimes a Bessa R . All are LTM lenses, it's the lens I change to vary the favor of the experience.
