Somebody send me overall dimensions and weight for a Leica SL with, say a
100 mm lens (that focal length is what I normally shoot air-to-air, and this
story dates back before pros would be caught dead using a zoom) I'll make an
estimate of terminal velocity. I related this story a while back, but I
remembered that it was a motor-driven N*k*n. Since these guys saw it in a
museum, I guess I was wrong.
