I agree, my favourite body bar none is the SL, no lightweight but it seems to give a perfect balance with Leica glass, my R4 (same size as 6.2) always feels a little awkward compared to the SL, Ive never really been comfortable with it. Small lightweight bodies may be ok with small lightweight lenses but for R glass you need something substantial to hold onto. I have small hands too. Not that I can afford or need an R8 but Im just not sure about the look of the thing and when I handled one in a shop it felt very plasticy compared to the SL, but then most things do. I guess Im fortunate I dont need a modern camera. Jason Hall
