Some actual measurements: My K-5, without lens or strap, weighs 0.8 kg = 1.76 lb.
My 17-70 lens weighs 0.51 kg = 1.12 lb. So, my usual walking-around setup is 1.3 kg = 2.86 lb. Until two or three years ago, my walking-around bag had the K-5, 17-70, 50-200, and 10-17 fisheye. That’s too much now. Gravity must be getting stronger… Rick > On Mar 11, 2022, at 10:38 AM, ann sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > > I cant even lift my K-5 with the short lens on it.
