Weight: system more important than sensor size?

and the Contax G lenses were AF lenses !  They are my preferred legacy lenses on mft bodies, very light and compact, plus they offer a super IQ, especially the 45mm F2.

When I realized that there won't be any digital acts coming for the Contax G, nor for the Leica M6 and got a Canon D60 instead, it was a real pain to adapt to those huge bodies and lenses. Yet there are some small and good lenses : the Tamron 28-75mm being one of them. At the beginning I thought that the big bodies were a consequence f the need to include all the electronics in the bodies, but with the n going miniaturization of everything, I think that Canon and Nikon have just been lazy.. May be that they thought that the big prices had to be justified by the size and weight...

Anyway : I'm very glad that there are now mirrorless cams : just make them full frame with short flanges and I'd be able to use my Zeiss glass like before.. (Aka without crop factor) .
