Standard procedure is one camera, 28mm, 560mm, 135mm, and 200mm lenses. Backup camera with a 35-70 zoom. Lenses are interchangeable for both cameras. Works for me. John > >--David R.

I take to everywhere. There are lots of reasons why you should have more than one body and it's not always camera failure. If the weather (or light ) changes it's nice to be able to grab another body with faster film and keep going. I carry lenes from 24 to 300mm and 2 bodys anytime I'm trackside. I know that seems like a lot, but I haven't got any of those newer zooms that have the great optics, or the newer camera to put them on. I use Minolta X-700's. When I wear them out I'll have to figure out what to buy. Dave Burton Somewhere east of the Loop.
