I have a dilemma. There's no absolute right answer so let's agree to skip that answer. I'm heading to a beautiful place with landscapes and nature. I have (defined by quality) an A camera and a B camera. I have a extreme wide angle and a zoom with a big focal length range. Which lens would you place on which camera? High winds and lots of hiking so switching back and forth isn't a good idea. Thank you.
Based on the question, the answer is either “yes” or “no.”

I had a similar problem the first time I went to Europe. All of those large palaces and cathedrals screamed for wide angle!! Museum interiors screamed for fast film and fast lens!! Almost no screaming was done for telephoto!! So what I did...I took camera A (a Mamiya/Sekor 1000TL), loaded it with 100 or 200 ASA Kodacolor and my wide angle lens (35mm 2.8 Vivitar), took camera B (a Praktica TTL(?)), loaded it with 800 ASA Kodacolor and my fast lens (50mm 1.4 Mamiya/Sekor) and carried my TP and used it on camera A when TP was needed. It was the best matching of film speed to lens speed, film speed to available light and minimized changing lenses. Of course, the whole ASA factor is no longer relevant, but I would first determine which lens is likely to be used the most, mount it on Camera A, second most on Camera B, and all others whatever seems best at the moment. Hope it all turns out good. Since I am posting this response almost a year later you should have the answer already !
