In the world of cycling, where lightweight is paramount and people spend thousands of dollars on exotic parts just to lighten a few more grams, the M will be prohibitively heavy. When I'm out cycling, I just carry an Olympus Stylus in my jersey pocket. There's still a lot of debate among cyclists as to the importance of weight, but that only counts while one is competing when losing 10 seconds every 10 miles will equate of losing 100 seconds in a century race. Ironically, its us amateur wannabe "pros" that are hooked in cycling wants a "dream bike" that weighs practically nil -- just like Leica users wanting the best equipment, but not necessarily for professional usage. - --- Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> wrote: > Whatever you do about a camera and lens for your > bike, be sure to purchase a > new USA Passport camera and lens.
