Subject: [Leica] Lens weight vs finish
From: "Rob Studdert" <audiob@ozemail.com.au>

Hi all,

I have just been studying the Leica M6 System brochure and I must admit I 
am somewhat perplexed as the large percentage differences in weight of 
apparently similar lenses of different finishes. For example the brochure 
suggests that the Summilux-M f1.4/50 in black weighs 105gm lighter than 
the silver chrome or titanium finish versions at 380gm.

Can somebody shed some light on why this is so?

TIA,
