Fred, You nailed it right on the head. I am assembling a flash-fill outfit with my M 100/2.8 and a M-A 200/4 for field portraits and I want to reduce weight as much as possible, thus the call for A or M lenses. When you start adding up camera, lens, flash, flash bracket and flash battery pack, pretty soon we're talking about a lot of weight to carry around in the field. Every ounce I can cut down will be a big help.
