I think not. A Blad is not an RB67 or Fuji G680. > > DT Take a look at a blad with the lens, back and viewfinder off. It's like a square egg with a mirror in it. Light as a feather, simple, elegant... A second back adds just under a pound to your bag. A second M body adds just over a pound to your bag. A Blad is not that differnt to carry around with you: my body with 80, back and folding finder is in my Lowepro Nova Micro bag now hanging on a hook ready to fly out the front door. I have the meter crank on it which works great and cost me fifty bucks. I love EV! Mark Rabiner
