Subject: [Leica] Jupiter-9, how heavy thy burden?

How much does the Jupiter-9 weigh?  I'm curious how much it weighs in
comparison to Blunt Instrument--my 85/1.9 Canon.  Blunt Instrument is
solid brass and chrome, so it only comes out for special occasions like
the theater, a dinner or pub, or when I might need to defend myself.  No
way I was going to schlepp that thing all over Italy.

Thankfully, my 90/4 Elmar did yeoman service, including some nice
wide-open "portrait" shots of statues in the dimly-lit Vatican museum.
