The Summicron 35/1.4 ASPH is quite a bit larger and heavier than the non-Aspherical 35/1.4 it replaced, but at 275g or so compared to 895g for an M6 body, it's still a far cry from "just about as heavy as the body." There are times it may seem that way, of course, but at those times I just remind myself that reality rules...... Regards, PB On Sat, 12 Sep 1998 10:02:19 -0400, "B. D.
