Naah, that's not *really* what I was getting at Christian, it is totally about personal preference and I have seen many a professional wedding photographer sporting old Canon, Nikon *and* Pentax SLR's around their necks that are older than I am! Of course you are totally correct that many who call themselves "professionals" would never consider anything but MF for a wedding.... My main point was that *I* have tiny, weeny hands (people comment on how small they are all the time), and scrawny little arms, and yet even *I* find some of the MZ range feeling as though I am wielding not much more than a p&s. My Mz-6 with the FA50mm 1.7 is a perfect example of this. Mind you, must admit that it *is* much easier for me to handhold in lowlight... I never was one that took to the little credit card sized mobile phones either though, just another thing for me that would become too easy to lose and abuse, and I would *never* do that to a Pentax.... <vbg> tan.
