Advertisement Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Carrying two M's at the same time?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sblitz Posted November 25, 2012 Share #22 Â Posted November 25, 2012 I usually carry 2 an m9 and an m4 to suit my mood and the lighting. One is always in the bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted November 25, 2012 Share #23 Â Posted November 25, 2012 One in hand and one in the bag. Both cameras are black and look identical to the untrained eye - people are amazed at how quickly I can change lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveclem Posted November 25, 2012 Share #24 Â Posted November 25, 2012 Whats a lllg ?? Â Â A mechanical wonder, not very expensive though so you're probably not going to want one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrichard Posted November 25, 2012 Share #25 Â Posted November 25, 2012 I carry two 35mm film cameras the traditional way with one around the neck and one on my right shoulder. All my shirts/jackets/vests have epaulets for this purpose. Digital SLR Pro's usually have only one camera due to the size/weight/cost of the equipment and the fact that a large range zoom offers what two single range lense can supply at good quality today. When doing a wedding using two M's, its the same way but lately for informal work, it's one M with a 21mm outdoors or 35mm f1.4 indoors with or without SF24D.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsteve Posted November 25, 2012 Share #28 Â Posted November 25, 2012 Two around the neck on the stock strap, with one strap shortened. If you wear one over the shoulder it can get banged around a bit. Best way over the shoulder is backwards with lens in. The two around the neck is the safest and quickest to change cameras.

FrozenInTime Posted November 25, 2012 Share #29 Â Posted November 25, 2012 What about this???? Â Would you trust the baseplate attachment to the M9 etc. body : I would not ! The M-240 seems to improve on it with a direct to chassis tripod screw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted November 25, 2012 Share #32 Â Posted November 25, 2012 I gave up carrying two cameras years ago. Â Even with one I want to reduce rather than expand the technological options available to me, so I increasingly take only one lens. It has had nothing but a positive effect on my photography.

jdsheepdog Posted November 25, 2012 Share #34 Â Posted November 25, 2012 Carrying more than one camera makes anything else difficult. Not having a camera, as distinct from from an iPhone, with you always, means you are not really a photographer. Â My compromise is the IIIf, with a 35mm f3.5 Summaron, with no strap, and no case. It is the most compact Leica rig ever, and fits in almost any pocket. The iPhone works well as a light meter, albeit a little slow. Â My wife's VLux 40 may be an even better "grab and shoot" rig. The lens is truly amazing, and it is a camera that deserves more and better attention than it has been given here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted November 26, 2012 Share #35 Â Posted November 26, 2012 The Billingham Hadley Pro carries two M bodies and 4 lenses. I carry one for color and one for B&W. The lenses are 24mm, 35mm, 50mm Summilux and and a 90mm Apo-Cron. Â I don't carry this load every day, it's more like my travel kit. But when I actually travel, I adjust my lenses for the environment accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted November 26, 2012 Share #36  Posted November 26, 2012 Yep you hit it on the nail there bill……………………..that’s me right there  Yep and he has a real passion for Leica and photography.  Neil, my preference is an M with a 35mm around my neck and the other M with a 90mm and the 21 SEM lens in the bag.

Paul J Posted November 26, 2012 Share #37 Â Posted November 26, 2012 I prefer two bodies. I like to provoke a response in people with my street photography so i'll often kick my Titan along the floor as I go. If my foot needs a rest i'll have my man servant carry it for me. For those times I'm feeling extra provocative or feel the need to "spice" things up a little i'll do both at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun Posted November 26, 2012 Share #40 Â Posted November 26, 2012 The one with the most used focal length round the neck and the one with the least used over the shoulder; or both round the neck; or one round the neck and the other in the hand. Take your pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
