I think that maybe the original post was referring to R-mount lenses, not M-mount lenses. But then again, maybe not. Anyway, I checked the numbers this time, and we're both a bit off, but I was further off than you. Leica's web site lists the M6 body at 560g and the Summilux 35/1.4 ASPH at 310g. So the Asph Summilux is about 55% of the body weight, which is more than I thought. Regards, PB On Sun, 13 Sep 1998 11:40:53 -0400, "B. D.
