With a static subject, maybe you'll have time to set it up properly and choose the right piece of kit from your extensive range.
But, if you've got lots of kit and it's all packed away neatly into a rucksack-type camera bag and a subject presents itself briefly - well, you can fill in the rest of the scenario yourself! The photographer with just one camera with one lens attached and another in his pocket will get
two photos - one of the subject and the other of his mate faffing about trying to sort out his kit from his neatly-packed rucksack (and he'll then move onto yet another subject whilst his mate is packing it all together again!).
There's also the situation where there
might be a photo in a subject but without the right lens on at the time you decide it's perhaps not worth the effort of going through the rigmarole of sorting out the right kit - and, of course, the next time you pass that way the light has changed or the farmer has cut down that photogenic dead tree, etc., etc.
