[Leica] M11 weight, additional facts (?)

[Philippe]

Any information about the weight of a gold plated version compared to the silver one? Metal density should play a role there too.

> An interesting note about the M11 are its color options and corresponding materials. Silver (or chrome, as it is commonly referred) along with black are listed; however, the silver colorway will feature a full-metal housing made of magnesium and brass while the black variant will feature magnesium and aluminum only – no brass at all. This might come as a surprise to Leica loyalists that are aficionados of the brass build quality of older cameras.
