The K-5 is smaller and slightly lighter than the E-3, Nathan. That's one of
the reasons that I'm looking that way: I must reduce the weight I carry as my
shoulders are suffering. I wear a parachute to the aircraft which weighs
around 10kg. That's not difficult to carry, but it adds to the strain on my
oddly-stressed shoulder and back muscles. Likewise, if I carry too much in a
camera bag the fun quotient is reduced after an hour or so.
So, I have a reasonable excuse for getting a new system . . . :-)
