But yesterday I handled an Olympus E-1 with lens, and it makes those rf lenses seem much smaller.

It seems from this thread that I have sold out, but I assure you I still own six M lenses, a VC converted to M, and four Leica R lenses, an M7 and an R8. I used the Noctilux for a year, and shot very few pictures with it. The ones I got were eye-poppers, but since Jeffery has all the 50mm DNA in Louisiana, and it was hard for me to love the focal length, I sold the lens to someone I am assured will use it. My heart is still pitter-patting over an M8, but I want to know more about this battery thing. All other issues seem surmountable, but I have been spoiled by the Pentax digitals that get 800 pictures on a set of batteries. Stay tuned. .
