But is it much lighter than an R8? Certainly substantially heavier than my M6! Why not just get a 15 for the M? If I got the R6.2 which I find tempting I'd go for the 100 macro and do something the M6 can't do without a Viso. Like a longer Telephoto between 200 and 300mm's. Again I wish they made a 200 macro.
