In the 'old days' we needed different bodies for three reasons, one camera
for colour, one camera for monocrome and an extra camera with 'extreme'
(very fast or very long) lens and fast film.

Nowdays colour and monochrome imaging can be had from any digital camera
either by accessing settings within the camera or post photography in an
image manipulation program.

Also there is no need to have different camera bodies for different film
speeds/ISO values, with Digital cameras you can adjust their light
sensitivity to suit the lighting conditions you are working in.

Thirdly zoom lenses are available today which will travel all the way from
wide to telephoto and still deliver good results under a very wide range of
lighting situations. So no need to have a wide angle on one body and a
telephoto on another.

In the old days (like the sixties) wearing two or three bodies was
common at events (with maybe a fourth lens in a pocket). Any idea why
even two bodies has lost favor in the digital age?




Nigel... I think your last point was the most accurate. Certainly some
photographers were using multiple films, but i believe it was the lens
issues. Zoom lenses in the 60's were for the most part, big heavy clumsy
and slow and expensive. Single focal length lenses were faster, and far
sharper than practially any zoom on the market then. Therefore, in
journalism or sports you needed to have lens mounted and ready to go
hence the multiple bodies.
