I carry the OM 500/8 Reflex with me everywhere, because I can.
I guess I like small and light because they fit in my bag, and big, heavy, and
fast if I have to carry anything besides my bag.
I can't see carrying a separate case for something that tops out at f/6.3! I'll
the 500/8 plus a focal reducer does better than that, at under 60% of the
weight and length! (But, of course, no autofocus and no OIS.)
So yea, I put a premium on small and light. But if it can't be small and light,
it has to earn its keep by being fast.
:::: There is no more light in a genius than in any other honest man -- but he
has a particular kind of lens to concentrate this light into a burning point.
