The body weight difference is 15 grams.  Most of the difference John reports
is for the lens...

The black lenses are always lighter than their chrome brothers....  

For reference, there are about 30 grams to the ounce....   The body weight
is about 600g.

Just looked, an M6TTL with chrome 50mm Summicron weighs more than an M with
a black 50mm Summicron.... Less than a 1/4 pounder weight difference between
M6TTL and M!
