Well, I dissent, most strongly. Leica cassettes are not THAT heavy -- around an ounce, maybe two. I concede that what is "too much weight" is relative, but the Leica is already a heavy camera, so the addition of a minimal weight would seem harmless. The M cassettes can be used in LTM cameras. The LTM cassettes cannot be used in M cameras. So, if you use both M and LTM, I would suggest you do as I do, and use the M cassettes.
