Perhaps you need to exchange the M6s for a couple of M3s. Then you would notice that the M6s were indeed very light. You seem to be carrying a rather large collection of lenses...but that is a moot point. Perhaps you should forget the flash or carry something a little smaller. Lastly, you could choose an OM system...that would weigh about the same (my Leicas are a little heavier than the OM's). Be thankful you aren't carrying a N*k*n or C*n*n with the same lenses. You would need a really sturdy shoulder. Try to limit your enthusiasm for Leica and go out with only one camera and lens...? Roger Skully robinsnestphotography.com
