I'll be 70 in less than a month! I was worried about the size and weight,
but the camera balances perfectly. With the small M lenses on it, it's not
much larger than the M240. It's the 24-90 lens that is honking big and
heavy but it's worth if for the stabilization and relatively fast speed.
I'm sure Leica will be coming out with more auto-focus lenses that are
smaller but in the meantime, I'm working out at the Y.
