However, the bodies themselves are not that different in size or weight. The 24-90 SL is of course enormous compared to the 24-70/4 Nikon Z lens, but a more comparable 24-70/2.8 Nikon F lens with an adapter isn't much smaller or lighter than SL either. In the end, I bought an SL because it fit my hands much better, and I found that the weight of the 24-90 and 50mm Summilux actually helped stabilize the camera, compared to the lightweight Olympus Pen-F I've used for a couple of years now. Well, then it got stolen less than a month after I got it. Looks like insurance is cover most of the replacement cost, however. Haven't yet decided whether to replace the stolen SL with another, or go with a more surreptitious camera...
