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.

Brian
