I don't find it's the weight that bothers me, especially not the bodies (as a sturdy body helps to counter the lens weight), it's usually the time needed to set up a tripod to achieve the desired IQ.
I walk with a lot of heavy gear around - ATM 2 KX bodies with 6 lenses, sometimes a Rollei 6008 with 3 lenses and some backs - but only when I feel I have the time to use it. Now that's increasingly rare, and that's what bothers me most. Which keeps the Rolleiflex TLR as a choice camera.
Two bodies is ideal ( I used to work with a KX and ME with 35mm and 85mm stuck to their bodies), especially when both have IBIS (which mine don't). I'm waiting for a FF update, but that K-3 III certainly looks appealing.
