>> Interest idea -  weigh your camera and gather real data:
>> 
>> Nikon F3/T with Nikkor 50/1.8E - 860g
>> Contax G2 with Planar 45/2     - 775g
>> Nikon FE2 with Nikkor 50/1.8E  - 720g
>> Leica CL with Summicron-C 40/2 - 540g
>> Rollei 35S (Sonnar 40/2.8)     - 370g
>> Minox EC with EC electronic flash in combination wallet case - 145g

I think the Rollei 35S is an ideal camera for street photography - light,
discrete and performs well.  The minox might is equally good but I have not
used one.
