It depends on what I am doing. My main camera body is an OM-4T. I use it
for most of my stuff, and it is almost always loaded with some type of
slide film.
The OM-3 generally has B&W film.
The OM-2s is the 'family' camera and usually has print film loaded and a
35-70 f3.5-4.5 lens mounted on it. While the rest of my gear is 'off
limits' without direct pemision, this camera is available for all to use
whenever they want.
I have an OM-2n that is used as a 'second body' for photo shoots where I
want multiple bodies. Film is loaded into it on an as-needed basis. For
example when I was shooting my nephew's football games the OM-4 had the
85-250 lens, and the OM-2 usually had a 300.
I also have an OM-1 that is used as a backup body, or for the kids to
use when we go out shooting together. Again, film is loaded as needed.
Ideally, I would like to have a second OM-4T for when I want to use two
bodies at once, but in reality I realy don't have to much problem
switching between the camera bodies. The one exception is the OM-2s
which has a spot meter only manual mode, that still throws me fom time
to time. I much prefer the spot meter sytem in the 3&4 bodies.
