One for the master, one for the dame, one for the little boy who lives in
the lane.
Actually, I usually have the three 4's of the T persuasion loaded and ready
to go all the time, the Champagne Ti with Kodachrome 64, the black Ti with
Provia 100, and the black T with Provia 400.
When venturing forth with serious, premeditated and planned photographic
intentions, like a vacation trip or weekend outing, I may additionally take
a 4 loaded with a black and white film of some sort, either Plus-X or
Tri-X, and another 4 loaded with a color negative film, usually NPS, NPC or
NPX, depending on what I expect to encounter.
The other 4, the 3, and the 1 sometimes ride along, but, admittedly, they
don't see a lot of regular use. I've become so accustomed to the OM-4 and
all its buttons that I'm not as quick or as comfortable with any of the
other permutations of the Oly.
If I have to leave the SUV/camera bag, it's never with more than two bodies
and a couple of lenses, and I DON'T GO FAR!
