How many of you have a second body?
So normally I would carry just one DSLR body, but always have the trusty Pentax MX-1 in a pocket just in case.
For professional jobs it's a different matter and Sue and I have a camera each, plus a backup body, plus backups for main lenses just in case a lens fails.
Me: K-1 plus lenses, back up is K-3 II
Sue: K-3 plus lenses, shares the K-3 II as backup.
Best regards, John


I still carry a Q-S1 kit in addition to my K-1 camera bag when I go out. It's too small to leave at home since it fits in any small space in the car or in a rucksack. My K-3 would be a second body if I was doing something of any great importance.
All the gear with no idea

Camera wise I rely on my K3 with two card slots. A Sandisk Pro 32gb SD card failed in slot one recently. It jammed the camera until removed. Amazon kindly replaced it within two days.
Lens wise I tend to carry with some overlap, 12 - 24, 40, 18 - 135 and 55 - 300 currently.
Battery wise always two charged spares. Flashgun only one as i rarely use it.
I have a compact one inch sensor Canon in my bag mainly for low light (F1.

I too would have a second DSLR body if earning money by it. I borrow on rare times I do such.

I could do with a new body but the NHS don't do them.


I have just one camera. It is all I can afford, and more importantly all I want to carry now. Sometimes I even wonder if I want to carry even that.

Tell me about it. To be honest if I could sell all my stuff for a half reasonable price I would in an instant.
Why, might I ask?

A young friend has two special needs children, and how she copes with them and a full time job is beyond me.
Our house is sold now, well subject to survey, and I honestly wonder whether I want to move all my gear. I may sell it all yet. Inspiration got up and left a long time since, and all I manage now are rather dodgy snapshots, even on days when I really try to just go out and take one decent photo. Might as well stick to a mobile phone.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Would you just try and source a second K1?
With primes only even two K1's would be a relatively light and compact setup for travelling or hiking when I'm landscape shooting.
The only exception to the primes rule is probably going to be a 60-250 which I tried on a K1 last weekend and seems fine and maybe a cheap 28-105 if I can find one!
