The 6x7 body, meter prism hand grip and the following lenses: 45mm f/4, 75mm f/4.6, 105mm f/2.4, 135mm f/4, 165mm f/4 and 200mm f/4 add up to about 6.25kg, or about 15 pounds. Add perhaps 6 pound for the carrying case and another few pounds in filters and film, and the total weight is surprisingly enough, less than 25 pounds. Mind you, I also carry almost that much tripod as well.... Note, I will be leaving the 90mm f2.8LS lens at home. However, it would only add another 610 grams. This is well within what I can carry for fairly long distances. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
