Sometimes: compare the Pentax M85/2.0 with the Leica 90mm Summicron, or even the 90mm Elmarit. Compare the Pentax K50/1.4 or M50/1.4 with the Leica 50mm Summilux. Or the Noctilux with the Pentax K or A 50/1.2. Or the Leica 75mm/1.4 with the Pentax 77mm Ltd. The M3/M2 weighs within a few grams of some of the Pentax K bodies which, even on this list, are considered a big and heavy camera.
I love the Leica for many reasons. It's weight and large size are just a couple of them ;-)) Later today I'll post some photo comparisons between Pentax and Leica bodies.
