No. (should be obvious by now)

Yes:
M645j and M645-1000S with metered prism finder and three lenses: 80/2.8, 
150/4 and 50/4 shift lens (the shift is a mondo beast).
> 3)  Large Format
No.

> 4)  Another 35mm system
Yes:
Zeiss Ikon Contax IIIa with 50/1.5 lens and Rollei 35S.  Not really 
"systems" (even though the Contax lens is interchangeable) but other 
cameras and I use them both although not as often as the OM SLR's.
Brian Swale hit on it well.  Think about how to make the best photograph 
you can from each subject with whatever you have on hand at the time . . . 
to tell the "story" about it and convey something you believe is important 
about the subject material to others.  It can be straightforward or 
abstract.  The most difficult aspect of photography that requires the most 
discipline is thinking about how to present a particular subject in a 
photographic image to others.
Every picture tells a story; some tell it better than others.
