Subject: Re: [Leica] Weights and Measures of M Lenses
From: John Collier <jbcollier@home.com>

The weights of the current lenses are listed on the corporate web page:

http://www.leica-camera.com/home_e.htm

You can order a copy of: "The Leica Program", which lists weights and
measurements of the current lenses, at the above site or from your
authorised dealer. It should be free. The copies of the "Handbook of the
Leica System" that I have (1966-1995) do not list the weight and
measurements of the older lenses. The book: "Identifying Leica Lenses" by
Ghester Sartorius (ISBN 0-8174-4027-5) again only lists the weights but has
photos so that judging the relative size is easy.

Cheers,

John Collier
