That’s a great collection, Ian.   I really like Germany and my visit to Munich last 
year was very enjoyable, if a little brief.  The night shots caught my eye in particular, but 
wasn’t it a bit of a pain carrying the 100-400 around?

Huh. I regularly carry a 100-400 around, but never checked it's relative size/weight. For whatever reason, the APS-C Fuji is not scaled down physically from FF lenses at all, while the PLeica is much smaller/lighter.

100-400 mm        Canon EF                 Sony FE Fuji XF               PLeica 
µ4/3
Weight:         1570 g (3.46 lb)       1395 g (3.08 lb) 1375 g (3.03 lb)        
 985 g (2.17 lb)
Diameter:         94 mm (3.7″)           94 mm (3.7″)     95 mm (3.73″)           83 
mm (3.27″)
Length:          193 mm (7.6″)          205 mm (8.07″)     211 mm (8.29″)          172 
mm (6.75″)

I can see why a 55-200 would appeal. In terms of reach, though, it wouldn't make me happy, with a long end FF eq. of 300 mm, vs. the 800 mm of the PLeica.

I am happy not to be toting any of the other 100-400s about. :-)

Long View Moose
