Leica M7 measures 138mm x 79.5mm x 38mm. Weight: 610g w/o batts. Canon 20D is 144mm x 105mm x 71.5mm. Weight: 685g w/o batt. Shall we add a 50mm f/1.4 lens to each so we can capture an image? Oh, why the hell not. Leica M7 with 50mm f/1.4 weighs 945g. Canon 20D with 50mm f/1.4 weighs 975g. -Chris Lawson -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Richard S.
