The suggestion that you switch to an Olympus system is a good one - but if you wish to remain in the Leica fold you can pick up a CL with a 40mm Summicron and a 90mm Elmarit, add your 21mm lens with its viewfinder and you will eliminate at least 4 of those 6Kg. Of course you can always carry a Minox. LarryZ
