By my research a Leica S weighs 1260 grams body only (S2-P is 1410g body only), plus another 740g for a non-CS 70mm makes a round 2kg... john ________________________________________ I've been shooting all week with my D700 with a 60 macro, Nikon. This combo weights 1435 grams or 3.2 pounds or 50.6 ounces. Carrying it with me everywhere for weeks to months and years. The S2 with a 70mm weights 1410 grams or 3.1 pounds or 49 ounces. With a sensor size many times bigger and certainly better glass. I'd love to be shooting the Leica I don't got rather than with the Nikons I got. Would be a better deal all around. Once I financed it. In hand the S2 camera did not feel heavy when I tried one. What ever weight it had would seem to solidity the shooting experience.
