A few grams here, a few grams there - it all adds up. And then
there's the issue of size. The mechanisms involved take up space.

camera and lenses, which, in turn, usually saves weight. Anyway, it's
just a bit of a fantasy, possibly to take my mind off some other
larger and more depressing issues.
