Hi all
Somebody recently remarked that the E-1 is heavy.
I suppose that depends "heavy compared with 'what' ".
My standard walk-about rig (also when I don't have the luxury of space to
move in order to frame a shot or three) is the
OM4Ti + Winder 2 + Zuiko 35~105mm f/3.5 - 4.5.
That tips the scales at 2lbs 8 oz (2½lb) or 1.1 kg.
I have the winder 2 clipped on not because I often use it as a winder ( I
don't),
but to give good grip and to add inertia to the whole assembly, to help
counter vibration.
In comparison, the
E-1 + ZD 14~45mm f/3.5 - 5.6 weighs 2lb 2 oz or 1.0 kg
Both including fabric strap and film.
