Just wondering if there is anybody out there who uses multiple bodies to avoid lens changes, since they are so small.

I am looking into this right now vs. a 1-superzoom lens option for better IQ, despite the bulk.

Right now I have packed for testing because they are my best performing lenses (apart from primes and L):

  • M6 and EF-M 18-150mm IS STM
  • M3 and EF-S 55-250mm IS STM
  • plus EF-M 11-22mm IS STM

No more room for a 50mm.

Let us see what the community has to share...

Recent years I engage mostly in targeted shooting.

For instance I like to have a birding setup all ready to go at a moment's notice (7D2 + big honking telephoto lens).  Currently waiting for my R5 to ship to replace the 7D2.

And a macro setup (100L + big honking macro flash).  Note: for macro I'm really anticipating an M50ii or M5ii for this (to stay permanently attached to a macro lens), so I can free up my M6ii.

M6ii gets tasked for everything else right now.

If I'm out and about without a capable landscape lens, I'll often just use my iPhone instead of carrying any of my wide-angles.
