Hi Mafud,
Heavy to me is using the SMC P-A15f3.5 when the tiny SMC P-A20f2.8 will
fit the bill however weight is not in the equation for me if I ~need~ the 15mm
FOV. Or carrying the SMC P-A*300f2.8 into the bush in a back-pack when
the SMC P-A*300f4 would be way fast enough given a one stop film speed
advantage.
This weight issue is also the reason that I love the modular approach to
system accessories on the LX it can be bare bones when needed (most
instances) or laden to the hilt with high relief finder, motor drive, 12AA battery
pack and 250 exposure back. But I must admit that the P67 seems heavy to
me most of the time :-)
Cheers,
Rob Studdert
