[Leica] a "pro-hobbyist" evaluates an M9 . . . ICK

[billcpearce at cox.net (Bill Pearce)]

I schlepped my hasselblad and a couple of lenses around Colorado once, and 
it wasn't a problem. Although the lenses aren't light, they really aren't 
much heavier than most current 35mm zooms, and the weight of the body is 
inconsequential. I would do it again. Don't know about the  Rollei, but if 
it is as heavy as an RB, forget it.

I surrendered on my SL66 only because hauling 25 Lb. of cameras plus a
backpack over Sierra passes ceased to be much fun.  The film camera
that first replaced the SL66 was a Rollei twin lens, and my GX may be
the only film camera I keep.
