I have been trying to understand in vain why people kept complaining about the new Elmarit-M being heavy or bigger than the T-E. It is a little heavier and bigger than the T-E but not at all much heavier or bigger than the T-E as people were so concerned. I am a guy of average size but can carry a M body with the Elmarit-M all day long without any problem caused by its weight.
