Subject: [Leica] Two bodies two film types

>>>
I'm curious if anyone else carries two bodies with two different types of
film (not for ISO reasons, but b/w, color trans, or color reversal).
Conversely, do many people shoot two bodies with the same film? Personally,
I find it really difficult to switch between between color and b/w. Before I
get started shooting, yes. But after, no.

I've found the best use for two bodies is to use two lenses with the same
film, for example one body with 560mm, other with 250mm, film determined by
prevailing light conditions (K64 usually).  This keep me ready for near and
sort-of-far distance birds with virtually no downtime for changing lenses.
