Hi, first, sorry about the missing subject. I have set a filter on my mailserver to delete all incoming pdml mails, so I can read them in the spare time on the mail-archive.com archive without filling my mailbox... second, it's not the weight of the LX that's the problem - my first Pentax was a K2DMD which is quite heavier, and the fast lenses are all around a kilo anyway... It's just the "sharp",boxier edges cut into the palm or fingers. A friend who worked as a PJ much more than me disliked his nikon for the same reason. Frantisek
