This line in the article really makes me laugh: "This is really a big deal
since Leica photogs are legendary for preferring small cameras." The Leica
M is NOT a small camera, nor is it particularly light.
Nevertheless it seems to be true that Leica rangefinder photogs "are
legendary" for that preference, since every time I read an account of
one of them explaining his (or her) choice of equipment, somewhere in it
is a comment about Leica rangefinders being small cameras. (Quiet is
also mentioned, as if you couldn't hear one across the room -- I guess
it's good enough that you have to *try* in order to hear it.)
Compared to Speed Graphics, Rolleiflexes, Nikon F4/5 and all
"professional" DSLRs not made by Pentax, I suppose they are small.
