Typically, my M3 body is loaded with either infrared film or Delta 3200, in other words, stuff I do not use on a daily basis. The two M6 bodies have Kodachrome and a normal B&W film respectively. So I have lenses on those two, ready for action, but the M3 is kept without a lens on to conserve space. So body caps are indeed useful. We all have different ways to use our equipment. I do not "store" any of mine, anything that does not see sufficient use is ruthlessly sold off. Nathan Walter S Delesandri wrote: > Help me out here.
