But, if I carried it with a camera bag on my shoulder, I didn't notice the weight. If anything it gave me a sense of confidence with it's solidity and durability. My next purchase in the Leica world will not be an M7, but it most definitely will be an R9. Since I use short lenses, the reduction in weight will be noticeable. I plan to test my assumption at Paul's Photo this Friday. Heck, I might even sell my R6 to get into the R9. Slobodan Dimitrov "Steven A.
