It's 100g more and we know some Leicaphiles would think that's too much (I recall some people notice the slight height difference between the M6 and M7) But if you were to use it as a "R-solution," then it's practically svelte in comparison. Another interesting fact is that this could be THE full frame solution not just for ancient Contarex, but also legions of Zuikoholic, Pentaxian, Contaxer etc. On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 1:23 PM, wildlightphoto at earthlink.net < wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> wrote: > Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > > >>> > I'll be very interested to see how the new sensor and processor perform. > <<< > > Likewise... and there are a few other things I'd have to check before I'd > consider buying it: viewfinder resposiveness, sensitivity of the focus > peaking at working apertures, robustness of the add-on viewfinder, cost of > spare viewfinders, and the placement of the shutter release.
